The Gratitude Run

The Gratitude Run is bigger than 3.1 miles. It's a chance to support a local family who is in need. Our Peters Township community nominates a different family each year to benefit from the race. There are turkey trots all over on Thanksgiving Day. But only the Gratitude Run is a true celebration of compassion.

On a day dedicated to giving thanks, we can show our gratitude by joining together to support a family that needs a boost. The course is an out-and-back on a paved portion of the famed, wooded Montour Trail. Enjoy a sprint or a stroll on a crisp autumn morning among a crowd of all ages who share a common love for giving. The Gratitude Run is an outpouring of love that impacts givers and families in need for life.

The Gratitude Run is dedicated to fostering a spirit of unity and compassion through our unwavering commitment to supporting a family in our community. Our mission is to cultivate a sense of togetherness and gratitude by organizing annual runs that not only promote a healthy lifestyle but also serve as a platform to raise funds and resources for a local family in need. With every stride, we aim to build a stronger, more connected community that embraces the values of empathy, kindness and support. Through the Gratitude Run, we aspire to make a lasting impact on the lives of families in our community, creating a legacy of compassion that extends far beyond the finish line.
