Why We Trot
The Race That Feeds Our Neighbors
The FishHawk Turkey Trot isn’t just a race; it’s a powerful movement. For many years, our incredible community has come together on Thanksgiving morning to run, walk, and raise vital funds for Seeds of Hope. Every step you take and every dollar raised helps us make strides in alleviating local hunger in our area and helps provide meaningful community service hours for students!
