The Auburn Ski Club is once again hosting the Turkey Trot
run and Mashed Potato Mile at Donner Lake. This family fun event features the 7
mile run around the lake and the shorter run for the kids.
The Turkey Trot has been in existence since 1976. Over
the years there have been snowstorms, ice, rain, and beautiful weather. The
event will take place rain or shine. It was cancelled only one time (2011 for
ice) over the past 38 years.
