Event summary

Join us for the Jarred Williams Turkey Trot benefiting Never Give Up Ever on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 28, 2024, in beautiful Richmond, Chittenden! This uplifting event invites both runners and walkers to participate in either an in-person 5K or 10K, with the in-person race kicking off at 8:30 AM. The race course is a scenic out-and-back on Cochoran Road, finishing at the same location behind Stone Corral Brewery.

For those who prefer to participate virtually, you can run or walk your chosen distance anytime on Thanksgiving Day until 8:00 PM. Registration is online, and participants are responsible for their own timing this yearโ€”so don't forget your watches! Enjoy delicious apple cider and cider doughnuts from Hacketts Orchard after the race, and get ready to celebrate the spirit of giving as we raise funds to support families facing financial hardships and children receiving treatment at UVM Children's Hospital. Join us in making a difference in our community this holiday seasonโ€”your participation and generosity will go a long way!

Organiser's Description

The need for financial support in our community continues! Please join us in raising funds to support families with financial hardships due to the economic times and also the health of a sick child being treated at UVM Children's Hospital throughout these upcoming winter months. We continue to be respectful of community members choosing to participate virtually. We invite all runners and walkers to join us VIA AN IN-PERSON OR VIRTUAL 5K OR 10K on THURSDAY NOVEMBER 28, 2024 (THANKSGIVING). The in-person race will begin at 8:30AM. The finish will be in the same location. The virtual race can be done anytime on Thanksgiving Day before 8:00pm. All registration will be done virtually!

Participants are in charge of their own timing again this year, since not everyone will be in person. REMEMBER YOUR WATCHES! We welcome your finish times and photos on the website afterward; completely optional. Instructions will be sent after the race. We made a point to separate the races ahead of time to help with timing accuracy.

Please choose the virtual option if you are experiencing symptoms of a cold and/or cough.

Thank you again for joining us in whatever capacity you are able. Give what you can and know that your generosity will go far to meet the needs of families struggling right now!
