Fox River Trail Runners (FRTR) is proud to again host The Fox and the Turkey Four Mile and One Mile Youth Race…it’s a Thanksgiving Day tradition!!! On November 26, 2026, we will be celebrating our 30th year of this classic event. The races will start and finish in downtown Batavia! Youth Mile at 7:30 AM followed by the 4 Mile at 8:15 AM.

FRTR will donate $5 for each 4-mile registration to our community partner, Batavia Interfaith Food Pantry to help those in need in the tri-cities area. When you register for the event, there will also be an opportunity to make additional donations.

Thanks to your energy and enthusiasm, at the 2025 event, we were able to raise $12,500 for the Batavia Interfaith Food Pantry to make a meaningful difference for so many in our community!
