From the Organizer
The Greeneville City Schools (GCS) Education Foundation invites you to participate in the 12th Annual GCSEF Turkey Trot 5K on Thanksgiving morning and participate in a local, healthy, holiday tradition. Join us at 8am at Burley Stadium! Race day registration begins at 6:45am. Participants registering before November 13 will be guaranteed a race shirt.
This family friendly event supports education in Greeneville City Schools while encouraging health and wellness. Funds raised through the Turkey Trot benefit the Greeneville City Schools Education Foundation (GCSEF), a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that provides funding for innovative projects in GCS that reach beyond the scope of the school system’s regular operating budget. The Greeneville City School with the highest percentage of participation will receive a cash prize. Last year, Eastview Elementary School won the school participation challenge and received $500 to benefit Physical Education programming.
Register today and make the GCSEF Turkey Trot 5K a part of your family’s holiday tradition.
