Benefiting the Garrison Elementary School PTA

Thursday, November 26, 2026 - 8:30 am

Dover, NH

The Dover Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving day 5k race in Dover, NH designed to be a fun event for runners, walkers, families and people of all ages and abilities. For 13 years, our mission has been to promote a healthy lifestyle and provide a sense of community while raising money for the Garrison School PTA. The Garrison School PTA provides money for student enrichment activities, family and community events, classroom supplies, artist in residency programs, and anything else that may fall outside of the school district’s budget. Our race serves as the single largest fundraiser for the PTA annually and has been able to fund countless needs within Garrison Elementary School over the years!

Over the years the Turkey Trot has become a beloved Thanksgiving day tradition for families locally. Come join us bright and early Thanksgiving morning with your favorite turkey-themed outfits to have some fun before you feast!

    FIRE CHIEF DARIN J. SABINE

    Newington Fire Chief Darin Sabine was born on August 4, 1984 in Newington, NH and his last

    alarm was on September 7, 2019 after a 2-year battle with colon cancer.

    Chief Sabine was diagnosed in early 2017 with Stage 4 colon cancer. He had spent much of his

    short time here on earth either with family or at the fire station. He was dedicated to his family and

    brotherhood. He fought hard to spend as much time as he could with his wife and 2 little girls.

    Our hope with this run is that we will keep Chief Sabine’s memory alive and raise funds to support first responders and their families who have been affected by cancer or other life-threatening illnesses or injuries. The race length of 3.3 miles is in honor of Newington Fire Department 33.

    MISSION OF THE SABINE STRONG FOUNDATION 33
