## About

Set amidst the rolling hills of Westmoreland County, the Murrysville Community Turkey Trot brings eastern metro families together on Thanksgiving morning at Murrysville Community Park. This annual holiday tradition raises critical contributions for local food pantries and park conservation. Participants can choose between a certified 5K loop on gentle paved roadways and an un-timed 1-mile family stroll around the wetland boardwalk and park trails. The atmosphere is warm and neighborhood-focused, with costumed trotters, pumpkin-spiced refreshments, and special finisher medals for every child crossing the archway.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: The 1-mile family loop and 5K course traverse smooth paved avenues and maintained level trails that easily accommodate all styles of baby strollers and wagons.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Murrysville Community Park's modern park pavilion complex features clean restrooms with diaper-changing stations and covered picnic tables for quiet feeding.
• Age Suitability: Designed for all ages from infants to grandparents. Children under 12 receive custom Thanksgiving finisher ribbons.
• Sensory Tips: A friendly, unhurried community atmosphere with lower overall noise levels than downtown races; ample open park meadows allow children to take calming breaks.
