The first annual Emmitsburg Turkey Trot will be held on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26th beginning in the Emmitsburg Town Park behind the Community Center. A scenic 5-mile run will begin at 8:00 AM followed by a 1-mile fun walk at 9:30 AM. The Turkey Trot is a great way to burn off calories before the Thanksgiving feast as well as get to know the community better. Participation in the event is free but donations will be accepted on behalf of Hope Alive which ministers to homeless women and children by providing transitional housing and support services in a Christian atmosphere.
