*We have already exceeded our number of t-shirts available so if you would like a t-shirt come closer to 5pm than 7pm…first come first serve!*
The need for financial support in our community continues! Please join us in raising funds to support families with financial hardships due to not only this pandemic, but the health of a sick child being treated at UVM Children's Hospital throughout these upcoming winter months. In light of Covid 19 and attempting to be respectful of our valued participants and the guidelines put forth by the state of VT, we invite all runners and walkers to join us either via an in-person OR virtual 5K or 10K on Thursday November 25, 2020 (Thanksgiving). The in-person race will be held at the Richmond Community Church at 8:30am. 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 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. Additionally, remember your mask for t-shirt pick up and for the start/finish line. We ask that you try and be conscious of the 6 foot rule among other participants to help minimize the opportunity for covid transmission. We assume that those participating have either had their covid vaccines or have had a recent negative test. Give what you can and know that your generosity will go far to meet the needs of families struggling right now!
Race Course: Out and back on Cochoran Road. Start and Finish line halfway down Farr Rd. (Behind Stone Corral Brewery).
T-shirt Pick Up Info: Richmond Community Kitchen 5PM-7PM on Nov 24th (Thanksgiving Eve). The first 150 people to arrive at t-shirt pick up on Thanksgiving Eve will be guaranteed a 2021 Turkey Trot t-shirt. Sizes are first come, first serve. There will be throwback merchandise from past years available as well. We would also appreciate non perishable items for the food pantry at UVM Children's Hospital.
After Race Treat: Apple Cider and Cider Doughnuts
Parking: Volunteer Green (near the playground before the bridge). IF THE GROUND IS DRY, feel free to use the lower space before the Round Church. We aim to keep the grass looking beautiful for our local community members. There will be no parking around the loop of the Round Church. Feel free to bring your strollers, but please leave your dogs at home!
Port a-Potty: Behind the Richmond Church
Prizes: The top finishers of the in-person 5K will be eligible for a prize on the day of the race.
