has become a great holiday tradition for locals and their holiday guests!  There's nothing better than spending time with friends and family on Thanksgiving Day! We are excited to bring the community together once again for a fun social event and a great cause! Did you know that this race has helped to raise funds for childhood cancer research since 2012? Get a festive start to YOUR Thanksgiving morning at the Chester County Turkey Trot 5k Run/1mile Walk and help children facing a cancer diagnosis (through sponsorships and donations) through Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). The previous race beneficiary, Cure4Cam Childhood Cancer Foundation, has transitioned to the Cure4Cam Hero Fund through ALSF. 

The event is a 5k race in 2 waves (see below), 2K walk, and a kids’ fun run. Historically, this race has gotten an impressive turnout of up to 3,000 registered runners and we anticipate a great crowd of both seasoned trotters and new friends this year. 

• Less than 25 minute 5K time - register for the Gold Wave! 
• More than 25 minute 5K time - the Blue Wave is for you! 

TECHNICAL RUNNING SHIRTS are guaranteed to the first 1,500 registered runners! (No T-shirts for free Kids’ Run)

RACE BENEFICIARIES

In addition to supporting the Downingtown West Cross Country team, proceeds of the race will benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. The Cure4Cam Hero Fund through ALSF is in memory of Cameron Evans, a Downingtown West teammate and friend who finished his race with leukemia in May 2012. Cameron was a gifted athlete and a compassionate, positive, and inspiring young man. His perseverance and spirit touched all of us.
