GIVING THANKS FOR ALL WE HAVE AND ALL WE HAVE TO GIVE

Arlington Turkey Trot
14th Annual 5k Fun Run

2019 RACE RESULTS!

Thank You Trotters!

On behalf of Christ Church of Arlington and Our Entire Community, the "Chief Turkey" says Thank You!

The 14th annual Arlington Turkey Trot is history and a wonderful community event it was as we have grown to love and embrace it after these many years.

Thanks to the Trot’s donators, promoters, registrants, sponsors and volunteers, together with our neighbors, who are sometimes inconvenienced on Thanksgiving morning.

And, special thanks to the vision of Christ Church of Arlington’s leaders who declared and demonstrated their love and faith in God in 2006 to help our neighbors in Arlington in need of a hand up.

Looking forward to our 15th year, we will continue to exercise our “2020 vision” to identify, organize and mobilize our community as we “give thanks for all we have and all we have to give.”

With appreciation and respect,
Mark Riley
Chief Turkey
