The Turkey Trot wouldn’t be possible without the hundreds of volunteers who give their time before and during the race. We’re especially grateful to the community organizations and volunteer groups that return year after year to help make Thanksgiving morning a success.

Thank you to the following organizations for volunteering for over 10 years!
