| About us!: |
Same Trot, New Name!
In this very unique year where we can participate in events virtually from anywhere around the globe, we decided to turn our focus to our collective mission instead of geography and date.
The event you have known for 13 years as the Morris Township Thanksgiving Day 5K Turkey Trot is now the...
READ FEED RUN TURKEY TROT!
In our 14th year, our goal is the same as always - support the Literacy Volunteers of Morris County as they teach residents to READ, help the Interfaith Food Pantry as they FEED residents in need, and keep each one of us fit with our annual holiday RUN. |
