From the Organizer
The Kiwanis Club of Wallingford is a non-profit, volunteer community service organization. We've been involved in the community for over 70 years, donating resources and financial assistance to numerous community-based projects for the benefit of the citizens of Wallingford and neighboring communities. Our goals are met annually through donations and fundraising within the community. Our achievements and success are the result of the commitment and dedication of our members, as well as the generosity and support of the community at large.
The Annual Turkey Trot Road Race is our largest fundraiser and has grown over the years to be one of Wallingford's most popular road races! Runners have the option of a 3.5 Mile or a 5 Mile race - and walkers are invited as well (although they are not timed).
The Kiwanis Club meets the 1st Wednesday of each month at Wheeler Family Traditions Golf Course, 37 Harrison Rd., Wlfd. If interested in attending a meeting and possible membership - contact info@wallingfordkiwanis.org.
