Get ready to gobble up some fun at the 21st Annual Family of New Paltz Turkey Trot. This Thanksgiving morning tradition invites over 1,000 participants to trot, run, or walk their way through a festive 5K on a USATF-certified course or join the littlest trotters in the 0.5-mile “Mashed Potato Kids Fun Run.” Both races kick off at Water Street Market in New Paltz, blending community spirit with scenic views. Proceeds support Family of New Paltz’s vital programs, including a food pantry, health services, and domestic violence support. Online and in-person registration options are available, with day-of signups starting bright and early.
