35th Annual
Greensburg Turkey Trot
November 26, 2026
What's the Turkey Trot?
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 30 years later, their event is still going strong! When you participate in the trot, you are supporting multiple non-profits in your community.
Everyone is encouraged to participate! Serious and casual runners, competitive and casual walkers, and family and friends of ALL AGES.
Race Start Times
Runners: 9 a.m. November 26, 2026
Walkers: 9 a.m. November 26, 2026
A NOTE FROM THE COMMITTEE CHAIR
History is created by those bold enough to make it. Keyboard critics do not shape the future. Actual physical action requires courage and commitment. These very principles will never fade with time.
Your commitment to share your Thanksgiving with us signifies the courage not only to brave the elements but enable the change necessary to improve our community and all those less fortunate. We dare to do great things because they serve a greater good. Service to others is not only satisfying but fuel for the soul.
Your efforts and support today will be returned a thousand times over should you ever find yourself in need of the help of First Responders for circumstances
beyond your control. Your kindness makes their very existence possible. Your donations have also helped the hungry and those without family on a day when
family and food are celebrated. Not to be forgotten, God’s most loving creatures, our pets, have had their lives blessed by your generosity. The
Humane Society’s shelter has provided a lifeline not only too many dogs and cats but those in need of true friendship and devotion.
Thank you for all you have done to improve the place where we live! Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless you.
God Bless you and Happy Thanksgiving!
