NORWAY — The fifth annual Turkey Trot 4 Hope Scenic 4 Mile Run or 1 Mile Run/Walk will be held Thanksgiving Day, November 24, at 9 a.m. at the Norway Fire Station, 19 Danforth Street, Norway. Our many sponsors this year have guaranteed that this will be a great event to benefit the Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine (CRCofWM). This is indeed a day of thanks, where individuals teams, businesses, and communities can support the work that the CRCofWM does.
You can register individually or as a team at raceroster.com/59121. Registration through October 31 is $25 and guarantees you a t-shirt. All Maine students K-12 can register for free, thanks to a very generous donor. On November 1, registration increases to $30. We are fortunate this year to have Back40 doing our timing and announcing. At 10:15 a.m., there will be awards for the top runners as well as drawings for prizes for all participants.
You will receive a free T-shirt if you register by October 31. There will be timing for runners, prizes and water stations throughout the course. Prizes will also be awarded to the highest fundraisers. Organizers also encourage anyone to join in the fun VIRTUALLY from November 20-27 anytime, anywhere, in support of the CRCofWM. Your route can be a favorite trail, a walk with your dog, a daily running route, or even a treadmill. If you run virtually, your T-shirts will be mailed to you and we would love to see where you chose to participate by posting on our Facebook page or #turkeytrot4hope.
