The Newfound Grocery and Country Store: Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot is back! Actually, it never really went anywhere, last year, turkey trotters ran the 3.5 mile Whittemore Point loop on their own but this year the 40th annual Newfound area tradition will be held in person, starting at 9 a.m. at the Newfound Grocery and Country Store.
Registration began Nov. 1 via Facebook at Facebook.com/NewfoundCountryStore or runners can register in person at the Newfound Grocery and Country Store up to and including the day of the race. Registration fees are $20 for pre-registration (T-shirt guaranteed) and by donation day of the race.
The Newfound Grocery and Country Store Turkey Trot is a great event and raises much needed funds to support families in need in the Newfound area as well as supporting some of the vital programs offered by the Tapply Thompson Community Center (TTCC) in Bristol.
Many families need assistance during these unprecedented times. Whether it’s help with groceries or a scholarship to an afterschool program at the TTCC, everything helps.
The Newfound Grocery and Country Store Turkey Trot is a great opportunity to help the community, have some fun, win some raffle prizes and burn some calories to make room for Thanksgiving dinner. Whether you’re starting a new holiday tradition or you’re like many Turkey Trotters and carrying on a long standing family tradition of trotting we’re excited to see you there!
