Event summary
Get ready for the 9th Annual MoTown Turkey Trot on Thursday, November 27, 2025, in beautiful Montgomery Township, PA! This Thanksgiving Day event has become a beloved tradition and the area's largest running celebration, attracting participants of all ages. Runners will have the chance to choose from various distances including an 8K, 5K, and a family-friendly 2-mile walk, along with a half-mile kids' fun run. With a start time of 8:00 AM, the excitement kicks off early as the community comes together to enjoy a day filled with fun, fitness, and festive spirit.
As you trot along the scenic US 202 Parkway, you'll not only be supporting your health but also contributing to a great cause, with proceeds benefiting the local Fire Department of Montgomery Township. Don’t miss out on the post-race festivities including hot chocolate, snacks, and an awards ceremony to celebrate the top finishers in each category. Spots are limited, and last year’s event sold out quickly, so be sure to register early to secure your place in this fantastic Thanksgiving tradition! Join us for a memorable day of running and community spirit!
