The Chester County Turkey Trot 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.
The Chester County community will once again come together for a fun social event and a great cause! 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 event is a 5k race in 2 waves (see below), a 2K walk, and a kids’ fun run. Historically, this race has gotten an impressive turnout of up to 3,000 registered runners and a great crowd of both seasoned trotters and new friends is expected this year.
