About the Event

The need for financial support in our community continues!  Please join us in raising funds to support families with financial hardships due to the economic times and also the health of a sick child being treated at UVM Children's Hospital throughout these upcoming winter months. Check out how we got started, below, with Jarred’s story! We continue to be respectful of community members choosing to participate virtually. We invite all runners and walkers to join us via an in-person OR virtual 5K or 10K on Thursday November 27, 2025 (Thanksgiving). The in-person race will begin at 8:30am. The finish will be in the same location. The virtual race can be done anytime on Thanksgiving Day before 8:00pm. All registration will be done virtually! 

Participants are in charge of their own timing again this year, since not everyone will be in person. Remember your watches! We welcome your finish times and photos on the website afterward; completely optional. Instructions will be sent after the race. We made a point to separate the races ahead of time to help with timing accuracy.

Please choose the virtual option if you are experiencing symptoms of a cold and/or cough.

Thank you again for joining us in whatever capacity you are able. Give what you can and know that your generosity will go far to meet the needs of families struggling right now!

Race Course: Out and back on Cochoran Road. Start and Finish line halfway down Farr Rd. (Behind Stone Corral Brewery).

T-shirt Pick Up Info: Richmond Community Kitchen 5PM-7PM on Nov 26th (Thanksgiving Eve). The first 150 people to arrive at t-shirt pick up on Thanksgiving Eve will be guaranteed a 2025 Turkey Trot t-shirt. Sizes are first come, first serve. There will be throwback merchandise from past years available as well. We would also appreciate non perishable items for the food pantry at UVM Children's Hospital.

After Race Treat: Apple Cider and Cider Doughnuts from Hackett’s Orchard.

Parking: Volunteer Green (near the playground before the bridge). IF THE GROUND IS DRY, feel free to use the lower space before the Round Church. We aim to keep the grass looking beautiful for our local community members. There will be no parking around the loop of the Round Church. Feel free to bring your strollers, but please leave your dogs at home!

Port a-Potty: Near the start this year!

Prizes: The top finishers of the in-person 5K will be eligible for a prize on the day of the race. 

Check out our website at www.nevergiveupever.org for information about our mission and our merchandise. We look forward to celebraing with you! Have fun, be safe and we hope to help inspire your Thanksgiving!
