The 9th Annual - and final - Tree 4 Hope Turkey Day 5K will be held on Thursday, November 28th, 2019, at 9am on the former Harrisburg State Hospital Grounds.
Registration is only $20 if completed by November 7 and increases to $25 after that. The funds raised at this event will buy shoes for the children of Hogar Miguel Magone and Maria Auxiliadora (boys' and girls' orphanages), and will help fund the construction of a school for impoverished girls in Guatemala who would otherwise have no access to an education.
T-shirts can be purchased for $15 until November 7, 2019. A limited quantity of shirts will be available for purchase at the event on a first come, first served basis. Register early to guarantee your shirt.
PLEASE NOTE: This is the last year we will be holding this race since the property will no longer be available for use. We will hold future races at a different location earlier in the fall.

Additional Event Details
Children 12 and under may register to run, but must be accompanied in the race by a registered adult. Participants may run with jogging strollers or dogs, however these runners are asked to begin the race at the back of the pack so as not to impede other runners. (Dogs must be leashed.) Headphones are permitted, but we ask that you keep the volume down so you can hear the other runners around you.
Race day registration is available, but we strongly encourage you to register early to avoid waiting outside in chilly weather. It has been COLD - seriously cold - the last several years.
The event benefits Tree 4 Hope, a nonprofit organization committed to providing a bright future of long term hope for children and their families in Africa, Central America, and around the world. Our community based programs focus on education, occupational skills, clean water and agriculture. Our projects meet basic needs, build relationships, and promote cultural exchange, while empowering local communities and inspiring youth, both at home and abroad.
