It’s almost time to lace up your sneakers and move your feet before you eat... and we're back at Ritter Park!
The 17th annual Huntington Turkey Trot is back to an in-person event at Ritter Park! On Thursday, November 23rd, 2023 we'll be having a great time with anyone who wants to have fun, enjoy each other, get some fresh air, and help animals! Families, visitors, kids, strollers, and pets are welcome! Our 5K fun run/walk supports the Little Victories Animal Rescue Group. We'll get started with registration between 7:30 and 8:45 a.m. on race day and start trotting at 9:00 a.m. Please be sure to meet everyone at the Ritter Park Picnic Shelter.
