JERSEY SHORE – The Girls on the Run of Central NJ (GOTRCNJ) have announced that their Turkey Trot 5k Race will be held virtually. The free 5K will take place between November 26 through the 29 and is open to the public.
“If there is anything that 2020 has taught us, it is the importance and appreciation of family and friends,” said Donna York, executive director of the Central NJ Council. “Although we will miss our in-person celebratory 5k, a Thanksgiving run with our loved ones will be very special this year as we reflect on our blessings.”
Although the event is free, in an effort to sustain the GOTRCNJ Scholarship Fund, participants can donate $10 or an amount of their choice to GOTRCNJ during registration. All donations will be going to scholarships to make the program accessible to girls who can not participate otherwise.
“Similar to many other non-profits, GOTRCNJ has been hit hard by the pandemic due to lack of in-person fundraising, and as such all donations are greatly appreciated,” said Ms. York.
Participants will receive a printable bib and finisher’s certificate. To register, visit runsignup.com/gotrturkeytrot. For race questions, contact Donna York at 908-642-4321 or by email at donna.york@girlsontherun.org.
