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! 🦃 RACE DETAILS Our course is completely paved and winds through a local neighborhood with rolling hills and very little traffic past CVS . Whether you're chasing a new PR or just coming out for a fun morning with friends and family, there's a place for you at the Tom Turkey Trot! Runners, walkers, joggers, strollers, and dogs are ALL welcome! We’ll start together at 8:00 AM. 🥞 AND YES… THERE WILL BE PANCAKES! Every registered participant gets pancakes after the race! Friends and family coming to cheer you on can join us for breakfast for just $5 per person. 🥤 THIS YEAR’S RACE GOODIE Every registrant will receive a commemorative Tom Turkey Trot cup! 🏡 CAN’T JOIN US IN PERSON?
