It is said that choices in life are easy, the consequences are not. Serving a greater purpose is usually never easy or convenient since it always seems at odds with the demands of

daily life. Rest assured, there is no greater reward than to be the beacon that shines light on those most deserving who have devoted their time and talents to enable this very event. It is definitely fuel for the soul! Those who have enabled the very success of our race have given from their hearts and overcome every obstacle that nature and the logistics of man have created. What they have done is to create not only a race but a community tradition that has embraced the warmth of the very meaning and intention of Thanksgiving
Our event has experienced crisis that has been overcome time and again by those devoted special friends. There may not be a better reward than to overcome a great obstacle surrounded by those about whom you most care. Allof you who participate today share in this victory. We dare to do these things because they are good and the purpose of life is to contribute in some way to making things better for others.
"History will judge us all, and as the years pass, you will ultimately judge yourself, in the extent to which you have used your gifts and talents to lighten and enrich the lives of your fellow men. In your hands lies the future of your world and the fulfillment of the best qualities of your own spirit" Robert F Kennedy Sr.

Thank you for enriching our community and those most in need. God Bless you and Happy Thanksgiving!

The Turkey Trot is a 5K run/walk held every year in Greensburg, PA on Thanksgiving Day. This event was created by five friends who ran every day at lunch. They created a non-profit called Westmoreland Community Sharing to develop this race and 34 years later, their event is still going strong! When you participate in the trot, you are supporting multiple non-profits in your community.
