The Turkey Trot benefiting GraceWorks is back again on Thanksgiving Day 2023!
Now in its 24th year, this Thanksgiving Day tradition is a family feel-good, do-good time. Over 3,000 participants run/walk the 10k, 5k, or Kids Turkey Chase through the heart of Cool Springs. Approximately 3,000 of their friends and family stand on the sidelines to cheer them on. Each Trotter crosses the finish line knowing that a local family now has Food, Shelter, and Support because they ran for GraceWorks.
10k is $50, 5k is $45, and Kids Turkey Chase is $15. ($5 off each adult registration if you form a team!)
NEW THIS YEAR!
For the first time, Trotters will have the option to help GraceWorks raise additional funds by inviting family, friends, and co-workers to donate. Simply agree to fundraise when you register and you are set to have the opportunity to win fabulous prizes! The more you raise...the more prizes you win!
