🚨 Volunteers Needed!
Our 13th Annual Newport Turkey Trot is shaping up to be our biggest year ever — more than 350–400 runners are joining us for the 5K, 10K & Kids Run on Thanksgiving morning at the Port of Newport!

We could still use a few hands to help keep everything running smoothly, especially with:

Course Marshals
Runner Check-In
Finish Line Support
