The 9th annual BCA Turkey Run, in memory of Leyla Hutchings, will take place on Sunday 1 December 2024. Participants are invited to run either a 10k or 10-mile route along the towpath - festive fancy dress is encouraged! The popular Tiny Turkeys 1-mile race for under 12’s is also back this year.
Our best dressed turkeys have the chance to win a £50 voucher from Cote Barnes or a free turkey from The Ginger Pig. &Feast will be providing biscuits at the finish line and all participants will be able to swap their running bib (bibs provided by Up & Running Sheen) for a pint and turkey bap at the Coach & Horses post race.
Registration opens at 9am at Coach & Horses where bags can also be dropped. The 10 mile and 10k race start at 10am, at Small Profits Dock, with the children’s run starting shortly after that. The race is adjudicated by Barnes Runners. Winners will be announced later that morning at the Coach & Horses.
Proceeds from the event will go towards supporting the BCA/FiSH Christmas Day lunch and festive meal deliveries for local residents as well as other BCA initiatives such as the continued support of the Annabelle’s Challenge charity.
Hermanos will be providing coffee to all the volunteers on the day.
Registration for the 2024 Turkey Run is now open. Members of Barnes Runners or BCA enjoy a discounted rate.
