Perry Wellington Turkey Trot
The 22nd annual Perry Wellington 4.5M Turkey Trot Race consists of a rolling 4.5 mile run, flat 2 mile run and 2 mile walk. One of our most popular family events for locals and those visiting from out of town.
Racers must wear race number to show that you are a race participant. You will have a certain color bib pertaining to what race you are participating in. If you want to change races, you may do so by calling the Blair Regional YMCA at 695-4467 before race day. NO CHANGES ON RACE DAY! If you lose your bib or need a new one issued, for any reason, there will be a $5 fee assessed. For safety reasons, headsets of any kind and pets are not permitted.
Course:
4.5 Mile Run:
The 4.5m course will start at the YMCA and run up Brush Mountain Road and take the scenic route of Hollidaysburg. The last part of the run will make a right onto Hart Street from N. Montgomery Street instead of going straight to turn on E. First Street. There will be a road marshal to help direct runners. Start/Finish will be at the old main entrance to the YMCA.
2 Mile Run/Walk:
The 2 Mile course is the same as previous years. This is as flat of a course as you can get! 2 Mile runners will be facing the opposite direction of the 4.5 Mile runners. You will start 1 minute ahead of the walkers. Make sure you stand in front of the walkers, they will have a different color bib number on. Walkers will be positioned behind the 2 Mile Runners and start 1 minute behind. Walkers are absolutely not allowed to run at any time! You will have a different color bib on than the runners. Road marshals will ask you to walk if you are seen running. If you would like to run/walk, sign up for the 2 Mile Run as you are more than welcome to run/walk!
