30th Annual Perry Township Rotary Turkey Trot: Thanksgiving Morning, November 26, 2026

More than a race, the Perry Township Rotary Turkey Trot is a community tradition. Every Thanksgiving season, runners, walkers, and families gather to celebrate together and to make a real difference in the lives of their neighbors.

Giving Back to Our Community

For 30 years, this event has been about more than crossing a finish line. Last year alone, the generosity of our participants raised $35,000 for local nonprofits serving Perry Township. Those funds go directly to the programs and people who need them most, supporting families, empowering youth, and strengthening the community we all call home.
