Who: All are welcome to join in on the Turkey Trot

When: Thursday, November, 24th, 2022 @ 9 a.m.

Where: Cook Center at MidAmerica Nazarene University

Check-in and t-shirt pick-up will start at 8 a.m. on race day inside the foyer of Cook Center on the campus of MNU. An informational email will be sent to participants two weeks prior to race with all specific updated details.

This year, in lieu of a silent auction, there will be a non-perishable food drive to collect items for the local Salvation Army food pantry. Please bring items with you the morning of the race and drop them off at the donations table.

Follow along at the Coach Yantis Family 5K Fun(d) Run and Walk Facebook group or the Coach Yantis Family Turkey Trot Instagram account for the latest updates!

The Yantis family started a scholarship endowment in 2020 for future athletes at Brad's alma mater; MidAmerica Nazarene University. Check out the information below to either participate in the 5K or to give directly to the tax deductible scholarship fund. Brad would be elated to have your support to help others in the next generation and to keep his memory alive in this way!

To contribute to the scholarship, you can make Memorial donations directly to MidAmerica Nazarene University for the Brad Yantis Memorial Scholarship Fund in support of MNU Football and Track Programs.
