Turkey Trot 5k

The Riverside Church Second Annual Riverside Turkey Trot 5K
Join us for the Second Annual Riverside Turkey Trot 5K on Saturday, November 7, as we once again bring our community together for a fun, active, and meaningful way to support our neighbors during the holiday season.

Building on the success of our inaugural race, this year’s Turkey Trot continues our commitment to raising critical funds and awareness for The Riverside Church’s Social Services programs. Every registration, sponsorship, and donation helps provide food, clothing, housing assistance, emergency financial aid, and other essential resources to individuals and families across New York City.

Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, every step you take helps strengthen our community. The Turkey Trot is more than a race—it’s a celebration of generosity, compassion, and the collective impact we can make when we come together with a shared purpose.

Gather your friends, family, coworkers, or running club and join us on Randall’s Island for a morning of fitness, fellowship, and giving back. Together, we’ll help ensure our neighbors have the support they need not only during the holiday season but throughout the year.
