The
mission of the Arlington Turkey Trot is to provide an opportunity
for people of all ages to enjoy a fun,
healthy
Thanksgiving
activity
together, and to raise support for two local charities: Arlington-Alexandria
Coalition for the Homeless (AACH) and Doorways
for Women & Families. Visit our "Local
Ministries" page for more about these two groups.
In 2006, (see photos) the Turkey Trot had more than 300 registered participants
and we raised $4,200 for the two charities. Checks were presented on January
28, 2007 and we celebrated God's grace in blessing this effort to help our
community.
The Arlington Turkey Trot couse has been measured and certified by USA Track & Field
as 5 kilometers. The USA Track & Field Code number is VA-07028-RT). See
