Tom Turkey Trot
About this race
🦃 Come join us for the 13th running of the Tom Turkey Trot! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Kick off Thanksgiving week with a morning of running, walking, pancakes, and giving back! The Tom Turkey Trot is always held the Saturday before Thanksgiving, and we can’t wait to gather together again this year!
The Tom Turkey Trot began as a way to help with the growing chemotherapy expenses of a local man, Tom Clifford, who was very near and dear to our hearts. After his passing in 2016, we chose to keep running in his memory while supporting a cause that was close to his heart. ❤️
This year, all proceeds will help support our 2027 mission trips!
