Riverside Church Second Annual Turkey Trot 5K
The Riverside Church presents the Second Annual Riverside Turkey Trot 5K, a community race held on Saturday, November 8, 2026, at Randall’s Island Park in New York City. The event raises funds and awareness for The Riverside Church’s Social Services programs, which provide food, clothing, housing assistance, emergency financial aid, and other resources to local families.
Race options include both in-person and virtual participation. A short children’s race is offered separately for younger participants. Registration for the event includes an official race bib, a finisher medal, and post-race refreshments. All proceeds benefit The Riverside Church’s programs.
Participants named in materials include runners, walkers, families, corporate teams, schools, and community groups. Awards are given for largest team, top fundraisers, and best turkey-themed costume. Sponsors are invited to support the event as part of a fundraising effort with a stated goal of $30,000.
The Riverside Church notes continued community need beyond the race; recent Food Pantry activity served 1,011 families and distributed turkeys and produce. The event materials connect the race to ongoing social services work that supports neighbors year-round. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
