The Newton Turkey Trot is a family event that has drawn more than 1,400 participants each year from our community and beyond. Our families of runners are continuing to enjoy running outside again and will want to continue to support our fundraising goals. The Newton Food Pantry, Centre Street Food Pantry and Journey Forward need our support. We hope you will continue to support our race and your community.
Happy training and be well.
