Get Ready for the 9th Annual BCA Turkey Run
The Barnes Community Association is excited to welcome runners back for the 9th annual BCA Turkey Run, taking place on Sunday, 1 December 2024, in memory of Leyla Hutchings, our much loved and missed colleague.
This popular event invites participants to choose between a 10k or 10-mile run along the towpath, starting at Small Profits Dock. Fancy dress is highly encouraged, so don’t forget to don your best holiday gear!
For our younger runners, the Tiny Turkeys 1-mile race returns, offering a fun and active way for children under 12 to join in the festivities. Tiny Turkeys must be accompanied by an adult throughout the race, though the adults run for free!
Schedule of Events:
9:00 AM: Registration and bag drop open at the Coach & Horses on Barnes High Street
10:00 AM: 10k and 10-mile race start
10:15 AM: Tiny Turkeys 1-mile race
Barnes Runners will adjudicate the races, and winners will be announced later that morning at the Coach & Horses, where runners can enjoy a well-earned pint and turkey bap by swapping their race bib. The Ginger Pig will award the best-dressed turkey with a free turkey, and all finishers will be treated to delicious biscuits courtesy of &Feast.
