TIME 8:30 a.m. 800m Kids Turkey Fun Run (kids under 12)
9:00 a.m. 5k Run/Walk
Description
One of my biggest fears is that I’ll marry into a family that runs 5k's on Thanksgiving… said none of you! Join Morgantown Running at 9:00am on Thanksgiving Day for a trot around Morgantown with your family (but please, leave your dogs at home as they are not allowed). Participants can run or walk this 5k course that begins on the blue track by the WVU Coliseum. You will run almost an entire lap around the track before exiting and making a left onto Mon Blvd where you will go downhill, past Texas Roadhouse, towards the light. At the light, you will make a right turn onto Boyers Avenue followed shortly by a left turn onto Leeway Street. You will pass Sheetz and then make a left onto the rail trail. The last approximately 2 miles will be on the rail trail heading to the finish behind the Seneca Center at Morgantown Running. There will be awards for the top 3 male and female finishers and the top male and female 5k walkers. Please remember, if you sign up to walk you can only walk, no running!
If you want to do both, please sign up for the run. There will also be random drawings for prizes from Morgantown Running. The first 1000 people registered will receive a pair of socks.
Kids under 12 are more than welcome to register for the 5k, or they can run in the 800m Turkey Fun Run at 8:30am. This race is 2 laps around the blue track (where the 5k begins) and will be done in 2 heats. Kids under 5 will be in heat 1, and kids 5-12 will be in heat 2.
NO DOGS ALLOWED*
NO REFUNDS
Parking/Shuttle
You can park at either the start at the blue track by the WVU Coliseum or at the finish at the Seneca Center. No matter where you park, there will be a shuttle getting you where you need to be before and after the race provided by Fox Shuttle Service.

The Turkey Trot is a 5K run/walk held every year in Greensburg, PA on Thanksgiving Day. This event was created by five friends who ran every day at lunch. They created a non-profit called Westmoreland Community Sharing to develop this race and 35 years later, their event is still going strong! When you participate in the trot, you are supporting multiple non-profits in your community.
Event Shirts: Register before November 9th, to receive a shirt. Can upgrade to a moisture wicking shirt for $10.
The Gratitude Run is bigger than 3.1 miles. It's a chance to support a local family who is in need. Our Peters Township community nominates a different family each year to benefit from the race. There are turkey trots all over on Thanksgiving Day. But only the Gratitude Run is a true celebration of compassion.
On a day dedicated to giving thanks, we can show our gratitude by joining together to support a family that needs a boost. The course is an out-and-back on a paved portion of the famed, wooded Montour Trail. Enjoy a sprint or a stroll on a crisp autumn morning among a crowd of all ages who share a common love for giving. The Gratitude Run is an outpouring of love that impacts givers and families in need for life.
The Gratitude Run is dedicated to fostering a spirit of unity and compassion through our unwavering commitment to supporting a family in our community. Our mission is to cultivate a sense of togetherness and gratitude by organizing annual runs that not only promote a healthy lifestyle but also serve as a platform to raise funds and resources for a local family in need. With every stride, we aim to build a stronger, more connected community that embraces the values of empathy, kindness and support. Through the Gratitude Run, we aspire to make a lasting impact on the lives of families in our community, creating a legacy of compassion that extends far beyond the finish line.

RACE ROUTE:
Race starts right in front of the former New Florence ambulance garage which is right beside the fire hall. We will run up a block make a left head towards the New Florence Manor. Then quickly jumping on route 711 for about a tenth of a mile before hitting Boswell road. From there you run out towards the state gamelands running by the Laurel Hill Iron Furnace before turning around. From there you run back a couple tenths the same way you just came until you Pick up Furnace lane and head back towards town. Then you don’t have to make any turns for almost a mile when you make a turn on Mulberry Street run a couple blocks down to 15th street where you turn left and finish out the last tenthish mile the same tenthish mile how you started, finishing back in front of the old ambulance garage.
We will have someone stopping traffic as you cross 711. Also to slow traffic down the tenth of a mile you are on 711 before hitting Boswell road. It’s not a closed course but traffic is very minimal. We do ask you to be cautious and be aware of your surroundings.
The course is exactly 3.10 miles. I measured it numerous times. While measuring I made sure to run the most efficient route so that means running the tangents to you take the most direct line as a professional would. The course has a net gain in the first half of the race and net decline the second half.
There is one water stop on the course we will have water there, its located right past the furnace right before the turn around there. Right at the 1.45 mile mark. Please keep all cups/trash located to that area. There will be a trash can there to throw cups in. Do not throw trash down the road. Where its located you will pass it go about 30 yards and turn around so you pass it twice quickly if you would need another drink. Make sure you go around where the sign that says Turn Around Here and the marking on the ground.
Ive added Map My Run to the bottom of this registration page so you can use it to see the course outline, elevation profile and if you want to upload the map to your watch to use you are now able to.
RULES:
For the free child registrants we require at least one adult to be present at the event to watch the child. The adult does not have to run beside the child during the event, but we ask that you use your best judgement in letting the child run alone if you choose to let them.
There is to be no unsupervised children to be dropped off at the event. We Are not responsible for watching or taking care of a child, if a child is dropped off unsupervised by anyone we will contact the authorities, this is for safety purposes and liability purposes on our end and your along with everybody in attendance. Again we are not responsible for any unsupervised children and unsupervised children will not be allowed to participate, if found after the event they will be stricken form results.
We will allow pets again this year to be on the course. Please have you pet under control at all times. It must be on a leash at all times. If you are caught with pet off a leash or not under control we will disqualify you. You must clean up after your pet if it has a accident. Failure to do so will result in a DQ. Please use your best judgement in bringing a pet with you. Those who are not friendly around people or other pets are not welcome. We don't want animals fighting or barking during the event. Please don't make us regret allowing this option.
We DO NOT mail awards. Stick around to receive your award. We do not allow you to come and pick it up at your convenience either. We understand you may have to leave early for work or family obligations so be a adult and get with us beforehand if you absolutely must leave early. We highly discourage having someone pick yours up during the awards because again you should have seen us before leaving and not everyone has that luxury to have someone there. We believe as a running community we all need to support one another in this community as it grows with each race. That support includes all the way through the award ceremony. We all need to celebrate the accomplishments of every participant at all events we attend and the hard work that goes into each persons training to get them from start to finish. That's why we want you to stick around. Also its nice to have people cheer others on as they finish.
Also no smoking, alcohol or drug use is permitted in any area the race will be using this includes parking lots, staging area, race course or restrooms. These are our rules along with rules of the trail. Remember this is a kid friendly event where young lungs are at play along with the possibility of adults with health issues. we are trying to make this event safe and comfortable for everyone.
No throwing any trash/garbage along the course. Whatever you start with you have to end with. The only exception is the ability to throw trash away is at the water stop at that garbage can there.
To be considered for awards you must finish under you own power, whether walking or running, as stated above children must participate under their own power as well to be considered for awards, being pushed inside a stroller will not count for children they must use their own two feet the entire time.
Headphones are allowed, we ask you to please be courteous to fellow runners and that you listen to your audio at a reasonable volume so you can hear other runners coming or calling out if they are passing you. Also so you can hear those directing traffic or traffic coming, again it is not a closed course. If you are pushing a stroller please be aware of other runners and vehicles give them the right away.

Charity All EHQ Events will having a benefiting charity. The chosen charity for EHQ Valley Falls 12 Hour is The Innocent Lives Foundation! https://www.innocentlivesfoundation.org(From the website)The Innocent Lives Foundation started with the desire to make a positive impact on behalf of children. Our Founder, Chris Hadnagy, in connection with work that he was doing for his company Social-Engineer, LLC, had the opportunity to work on a few cases that helped track and capture predators who trafficked and exploited
children. Some of these cases hit him very hard. He saw the impact that these crimes had on innocent people, and he wanted to do something about it.EHQ owner, Mark Sutyak, is a software and security professional and a regular listener to the Social-Engineer podcast as well as attending security conferences. This is where Mark learned of this organization some years ago. We're extremely excited to be able to raise funds for such an amazing cause!!
