👉 Register for the 2026 Turkey Trot

For 24 years, this race has been more than a holiday tradition. It has helped Family of New Paltz provide critical services to people in our community — all year long.

Your participation helps support our food pantry, case management, domestic violence survivor services, adolescent programs, restorative justice services, and our 24/7 hotline — helping people with pretty much “any problem under the sun.”

So grab your family. Gather your friends. Rally your coworkers. Bring your running shoes, your Thanksgiving spirit, and your appetite for fun.

Come run for the tradition.
Run for your community.
Run for a great cause.

And yes… you can still have pie afterward. 🥧😉

Let’s make the 24th Annual Family of New Paltz Turkey Trot our biggest and most spirited one yet!

Register today and be part of the tradition.

We are incredibly grateful to all of our sponsors, runners, volunteers, and supporters who make this event possible.

See you at the starting line!
