NORWAY — The Turkey Trot 4 Hope will be a virtual event this year. Organizers encourage anyone to join in the fun over four days Thursday, Nov. 26 to Sunday, Nov. 29, anytime, anywhere in support of the Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine.
This is the perfect event for the whole family to enjoy from the comfort of their own home and at your own time, organizers said. Your route can be a favorite trail, a daily running route, a local track or even a treadmill.
Last year’s event attracted more than 300 walkers and runners raising funds for the Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine. Although it is not possible to host a traditional “in person” event this year, organizers are excited about the opportunity that a virtual event brings and have set a fundraising goal of $15,000.
“This is the signature fundraising event for Cancer Resource Center of Western Maine and this year we hope to have many more participants actively fundraising,” said Gene Benner, committee co-chair. “We challenge each Turkey Trot 4 Hope participant to help us raise much-needed funds to support people in western Maine affected by cancer.” Sponsorships are also available.
