Noblesville Sets the Stage for Annual Turkey Trot in Memory of Michael Treinen

As Thanksgiving approaches, Noblesville residents are lacing up their running shoes for a cause that's become a holiday tradition. The Annual Michael Treinen Foundation Turkey Trot is set to take place this Thursday, starting at 9 am. A recent social media post from the Noblesville Police Department provides critical details for participants and spectators alike. This charitable event not only promotes health and community spirit but also honors the memory of Michael Treinen, who passed away from leukemia.

For those looking to join the festivities, the police department has released the staging areas for the race. Runners will gear up on Logan St., while walkers will begin their journey on 9th St. The course is split into two distances, a 3K and a 5K, inviting participants of all fitness levels to contribute to the community spirit. The 3K entrants will wind through the serenity of Forest Park, a brief yet picturesque route, designed to be both welcoming for families and rewarding for the sprinters among us.

More ambitious athletes tackling the 5K will embark on a more comprehensive tour of the area, heading out from the same starting bridge before moving onto a well-mapped out circuit through key streets—it's a route that promises both a physical challenge and a tour of the town's scenic highlights. According to a Noblesville Police Department social media post, runners and walkers alike will be met with the assistance of officers throughout the race, ensuring safety and smooth passage for all involved.

Those who haven't yet secured their spot in the trot can still do so by registering online. The Noblesville Police Department encourages last-minute registrants to visit a dedicated sign-up page, which can be found in their recent social media announcement.
