Gather friends, family, and colleagues for the 5K Turkey Trot, 1 mile Gobble Wobble, or the Baby Bobble (baby crawling race). Starting and ending at St. Joseph's Villa, enjoy a festive atmosphere, a community partner expo before and after the event, costumes, music, and a timed race on a fun, flat course.

Little Hands Virginia's mission is to ensure young children have essentials from birth to improve outcomes for life. We support economically disadvantaged families by providing everything babies need to be healthy and safe, including diapers, hygiene items, clothes, car seats, pack 'n plays, and strollers. We partner with 130 organizations, including local nonprofits, hospitals, food banks, and government agencies, to reach families and ensure no child goes without what they need to thrive. Last year, Little Hands distributed over 1.9 million diapers and served 10,000 families. Through supporting the Big Turkey Trot, you ensure children in our community have the essentials they need to be clean, healthy and cared for.
