THE 18TH ANNUAL WILD TURKEY 5-MILE RACE
NOVEMBER 12-26 – VIRTUAL – ACROSS THE US
At-Home – 2020
A note to our runners…
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem is canceling the in-person
version of our 2020 Wild Turkey 5-mile race. While we are disappointed, we wholeheartedly
support this decision and know that it is prudent to do what is best to ensure everyone’s safety.
As a result, the 2020 Wild Turkey Race, originally scheduled for Thanksgiving morning will be
going virtual to become the 2020 Wild Turkey Virtual Run At-Home Edition.
Register on RaceWire at https://racewire.com/register.php?id=11850, and run your mileage at home anytime between November 12-26 and
submit your results online. Complete race results, times and scoring will be posted on the race
website. The first 500 registered runners will receive our exclusive (and coveted!) Brooks,
long-sleeve event t-shirt. Registered runners will receive an email with additional instructions
regarding bib numbers, and how to post your times. Certificates will be awarded to Top
Runners.

Introducing…
2020 Wild Turkey Kids At-Home Challenge
Since we can not be together in Salem for the 2020 event, we have designed a very special event AT
NO COST for our littlest supporters. Your kids, from 3 to 10 years old, will receive a package directly
sent to their door, complete with a customizable bib number and a package of crayons.
You will be sent a list of five challenges for the kids to complete. Once the challenges are finished,
you will award them with their very own limited-edition Wild Turkey Kids At-Home medal!
Parents can register their children online at www.bgcgs.org by November 1, and complete
their five challenges between November 12 and November 26.
Share your photos and videos of your kids completing their challenges and wearing their medal by
tagging @SalemBoysGirlsClub and using the hashtag: #SalemWildTurkeyAtHome
Certificates will be awarded to most creative and energetic efforts!
