Join the 8th Annual Greenwich Alliance for Education in a Turkey Trot through Bruce Park!

The eighth annual Greenwich Alliance for Education’s Turkey Trot will be held on Saturday, November 24.

Join over 2,000 spectators and participants in the perfect post-Thanksgiving family activity.

Registrants will be able to choose from either a 5K race or a non-competitive 1 mile run/walk. Both races begin and end at the Arch Street Teen Center at 100 Arch Street and pace through the beautiful flat roads of Bruce Park. We are grateful to our top race sponsors: Cadillac of Greenwich, Hospital for Special Surgery, General Atlantic and The Richmond Group. The Cadillac of Greenwich 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk starts at 9:30am followed by the HSS 5K at 10:00am.

Warm-up and stretching will be organized prior to the 1 Mile start at 9:00am.

All proceeds from the Turkey Trot will directly benefit the Greenwich Alliance for Education’s programs. The Greenwich Alliance funds innovation, expands opportunities, and inspires teachers to foster educational success for Greenwich Public School students.

Those interested can register online from the Greenwich Alliance’s website, www.greenwichalliance.org. Registration cost is $30 per adult ($40 on race day) and $15 per child age 14 and under.

T-shirts and goody bags with offers from local merchants will be guaranteed to runners who register by November 14th and to all other registrants while supplies last. We will once again have chip timing for the 5K race and new for 2018 – performance material race T-shirts!

Make sure to register online to guarantee your chip and T-shirt! Pre-registered runners have a chance to win additional prizes if they pick up bibs, T-shirts, and goody bags on Friday, November 23rd at Cadillac of Greenwich from 1-4PM. Cadillac of Greenwich is located at 144 Railroad Avenue, just west of the Greenwich Train Station. Race-day registration will take place inside the Arch Street Teen Center from 8:15-9:15am.

Again this year the Alliance will hold its “Run For Your School Competition.” The Greenwich school with the greatest participation wins a $500 gift card for PE equipment.

Get your fellow students and teachers involved and be sure to indicate your school when you register.

Awards and merchandise prizes will be presented to the top three overall male and female 5K winners. The top three male and female finishers in 9 age categories, from 10-and-under to 70-plus will also receive awards. All 1-mile finishers will receive medals.
