The Fox & The Turkey Races

The Fox & The Turkey is a Thanksgiving Day running event hosted by the Fox River Trail Runners in downtown Batavia. Celebrating its 29th year in 2025, the event features a 4-mile run and a 1-mile youth race, fostering community spirit and healthy activity during the holiday. A portion of the registration fees is donated to the Batavia Interfaith Food Pantry, supporting local families in need.

The event not only promotes fitness but also encourages charitable giving, having raised significant funds for the pantry in previous years. Participants can enjoy a festive atmosphere while contributing to a worthy cause. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
