49th Annual Peru Lions Club John P. Adams Memorial Turkey Trot
About the race
Join us for the 49th running of this Adirondack Coast tradition. Proceeds benefit the charitable work of the Peru Lions Club.
The 5k and the 10k start at 9am at Peru Central School. Bib pickup is on race morning beginning at 7:45am, and all activities are outside, with some weather protection provided by the bays of the Peru Central School bus garage.
The Peru Lions Club consists of people who represent a cross section of our community. Chartered in 1945, the club continues to serve the community in a variety of ways. While our main goal is to aid the visually impaired and blind, the club contributes to over 18 service projects. 100% of your donation at the Turkey Trot and other fundraisers goes back to your local community.

The course
Route adjustments
Route adjustments were made to ensure a proper distance and to make the race more runner friendly. Review the maps for details.
Three years ago the 10k route was updated to make it a true 10k. A short out-and-back on Twin Creek Drive (off of Barney Downs Road) was added.
