Barrington School Holding Annual Trot Your Turkey Off 5K Race

BARRINGTON, RI — St. Luke's School is once again partnering with the local nonprofit Tap-In for this year's Trot Your Turkey Off Road Race on Nov. 30. The annual 5K race raises funds for nearby food pantries during the busy holiday season.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the road race, which has become a post-Thanksgiving tradition. More than 1,000 runners from around the state and region are expected to take part in the 5K walk/run or kid-friendly 1.5 mile loop.

The race is open to runners of all skill levels and ages and will begin at 10 a.m. on Nov. 30 at 10 Waldron Avenue in Barrington. Registrations submitted before Thanksgiving cost $20 for adults or $12 for children under 14. More information is available on the race's website.

The race is partnered with Touch A Person In Need, or Tap-In, which is a member of the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. The organization provides families in the East Bay with the support they need.

Proceeds from the race support Tap-In and St. Luke's enrichment activities and service minstry projects throughout the community.

The race is sponsored by Navigant Credit Union, along with more than 50 local sponsors, including Jaffe Orthodontics, McVay Physical Therapy and Dr. Andy Molak Family and Cosmetic Dentistry.
