Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot for Hospice
The Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot for Hospice is an annual community run and walk in Oneonta that raises funds for Helios Care. The event includes a 5K run and a 2.5K walk and supports programs and services that are not fully covered by reimbursement.
Funds raised support specific programs such as a children’s bereavement camp, grief support groups for individuals and families, caregiver support groups, and community education on caregiving, grief, advance care planning, and serious illness. Organizers offer online fundraising options so participants can create personal or team fundraising pages and collect donations that remain local to the community.
In-person packet pick-up is available at the Helios Care office at 297 River St Service Rd in Oneonta on Tuesday 11/24 and at the Oneonta Boys and Girls Club at 70 River St on Wednesday 11/25 and on event morning. The run and walk take place on a course that uses House St in front of Riverside School and operates alongside volunteer, sponsor, and photo resources. A virtual race option is provided so participants can submit verified results remotely.
The event notes health guidance for participants and encourages picking up packets for others in the same group. Commemorative shirts are available while supplies last. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
