No Runner Left Behind
A portion of event proceeds from registrations and sponsorships will be reserved for the WeTrotTogether program. Runners and aspiring runners can request a discounted or complimentary entry into the Westfield Turkey Trot if the registration fee presents a financial burden or a barrier to attending and competing. This program allows for our event and each participant and partner to directly support others in our running community. Please email tears@practicehard.com if this program will help you to join us at the Trot!
