Entering its third year, the Orange Turkey Trot 5K takes place on Nov. 7 in Orange. All proceeds go directly to food pantries in Athol and Orange.
A festive group of friends, families, and community members came together to support the runners last year. Athletes of all experience levels can show up to run or walk the course. The event raised $4,117.37, which was evenly split to the food pantries.
The event is professionally timed by the Tri-State Timing Company. The run starts at 9 a.m. at Mahar Regional High School. Information on registration can be found here.
