15th annual Family of New Paltz Turkey Trot

when: Thursday November 22nd, 2018, 9am
where: Water Street Market, New Paltz

The Family of New Paltz Turkey Trot is a 5K run and walk held annually Thanksgiving morning to support Family of New Paltz’s Food Pantry and Crisis Services. Building on the success of previous years, this year’s event will include prizes for best costumes, tee shirts for adults and children, and of course the famous Mashed Potato Fun Run, which is free for kids 12 and under. For the more serious runners, the 5K course is certified by USATF, and this year will include chip timing at both the start and finish line. As part of the package provided by the chip-timing company, photos of individual runners crossing the finish line will be available for upload at no cost. Age groups this coming year will be in ten-year increments, and medals will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each age group, with separate awards for male and female.

Volunteers are the heart and soul of the New Paltz Turkey Trot! All volunteers will receive a Turkey Trot t-shirt and refreshments.
