✨ Everything You Need to Know to Get Ready for Race Day ✨

We want to thank everyone for their support as we gear up for our 16th Annual Bradford Park Turkey Trot Saturday, November 7th. To ensure a smooth and safe event, we kindly ask that neighbors along the race route:

- Refrain from parking on the street during the race.
- Avoid driving through the neighborhood if possible between 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM.
- If you must drive, slow down and steer clear of race participants for everyone’s safety.
- Please do not remove directional signs from your yards. We will take care to ensure no property damage is caused and signs are removed promptly after the race and post-race events conclude.
