Castle Rock, get ready! This Thanksgiving morning, the 20th Annual Plum Creek Church Turkey ROCK Trot, presented by CORE Electric Cooperative, invites you to be part of the largest attended race and Thanksgiving morning tradition at the Douglas County Event Center.
A Thanksgiving Morning Tradition
Gather your family for the 5K Family Fun Run/Walk/Stroll and watch your little ones sprint in the FREE 1K Kid’s Dash sponsored by PR Youth Running. Whether you’re racing for your personal best or strolling to start a new tradition, there’s a pace and place for everyone at the Turkey ROCK Trot.
