The Turkey Trot is back for the 24th year! If you’re looking for a great way to enjoy family, friends and fitness this Thanksgiving, then you won’t want to miss the area’s premiere Thanksgiving Day 5K. Last year, almost 3,200 participants ran, walked and enjoyed this celebratory event – and this year we’re hoping to top that number! The 5K run / walk starts and finishes at the Carlisle Family YMCA.

In addition to the live event, participants also have the option to participate virtually. So challenge your family, your friends or your co-workers from all around the world to join you.

And yes, the GOLDEN FORKS are back for the TUCKEY TEAM CHALLENGE!
