Wallkill East Rotary 11th Annual Turkey Trot

The 11^th Annual Turkey Trot will be held this year on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, November 28, 2024, at the Galleria Mall at Crystal Run in Middletown, New York.

The route begins at the movie entrance of the Galleria and is a 5K, allowing athletes a competitive opportunity for awards and prizes.  Many families and individuals dress up in Turkey costumes and hats, making it a spirited event for all.  There are awards for best individual costumes, family/team costume award, and best hat award.  All participants receive a certificate of participation.

Registration is going on now, along with discount rates for groups of 4 or more.  Early registration (through Nov 1) secures each participant with a free long sleeve running t-shirt and personalized bib.  Registration is available online at www.OrangeTurkeyTrot.com. Although we encourage registering online through November 24^th, late registration is available on the morning of the Turkey Trot.  Registration is $35 for people 13 years and older; $25 Military/Veteran and First Responders; $25 for kids 12 and under and $120 for a family of four.  

Last year nearly 450 people participated in the Turkey Trot, from infants to senior citizens – and a few of our 4-legged friends.  The Turkey Trot is a rain or shine event.
