## About

Celebrating more than 30 years as Northwest Philadelphia's premier Thanksgiving morning tradition, the Face to Face Turkey Trot gathers more than 1,000 neighborhood runners, walking clubs, families, and costumed dogs. Staged from the campus of Chestnut Hill College, the race winds straight onto Forbidden Drive along the Wissahickon Creek in Fairmount Park.

Participants can tackle the USATF-certified 5-mile trail race or participate in the relaxed 1-mile fun run/walk along the scenic gravel path beneath towering sycamores and historic stone bridges. The event is the largest annual fundraiser for Face to Face Germantown, a community outreach center that delivers freshly prepared meals, free health clinic visits, and legal assistance to underserved families throughout Philadelphia.
