Lace Up for a Local Tradition! It’s Turkey Trot Time

MICKLETON — East Greenwich Township is getting ready to stretch its legs, spread some community cheer, and support local students at the 17th Annual East Greenwich Turkey Trot on Saturday, Nov. 21.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner aiming for a personal best, a family looking for a fun morning outdoor activity, or a neighbor wanting to support our local schools, there’s an event for everyone. The morning’s festivities include a 5K Run, a 1-Mile Walk, and a 1-Mile Fun Run for participants of all ages and fitness levels.

Organized by the East Greenwich Township Home and School Association (EGHSA), this annual tradition raises vital funds to support the students and staff at both Jeffrey Clark and Samuel Mickle Schools. Proceeds directly benefit educational enrichment programs, safety initiatives, and student activity resources throughout the school year.

It’s more than just a race. There will be food, swag, and prizes.

This year’s event promises a festive, high-energy atmosphere for race day. Highlights for participants and spectators include:

Delicious Refuels: Fuel up or warm up after the race with refreshed menu items from Playa Bowls and fresh coffee available for purchase from Tom’s Coffee.

Prizes & Awards: Top finishers and race participants will have the chance to take home awesome prizes.

Swag Bags: Early registrants will receive race-day swag bags filled with local goodies, special offers, and promotional giveaways provided by generous local business sponsors.
