💙  Giving Back to Our Community

The Scranton Turkey Trot is about more than running—it’s about making a difference in the community we call home.

Over the past three years, this event has helped raise nearly $30,000 for the Butterfly Playground, an inclusive play space designed for children and adults of all abilities. We are proud to have supported the Nay Aug Park Association in its ongoing efforts to revitalize Nay Aug Park in honor of the James “Red” McAndrew Foundation.

This year, we are excited to support St. Francis of Assisi Kitchen, an organization dedicated to providing a free, hot, nutritious meal to every guest, every day of the year.

We are grateful to our participants, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters who make this event possible. Your generosity helps us continue the tradition of giving back and making a positive impact right here in Scranton!

🦃  Come Run, Walk & Give Thanks!

We can’t wait to celebrate Thanksgiving morning with you! Costumes are encouraged, turkey hats are always welcome, and gobbling is entirely optional.

Bring your family, invite your friends, and help us make the 4th Annual Scranton Turkey Trot our best one yet!

Race Organizers: Julia & Matt McAndrew

Family, fitness, community, and a little Thanksgiving fun!
