Embarking on its 20th year, the Sea Colony Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk is all set to commemorate two decades of unwavering support for Special Olympics Delaware and its athletes. Against the scenic backdrop of Sea Colony in Bethany Beach, this landmark event promises a day of athleticism and goodwill.
Scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 26, the Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk stands as a testament to fostering community spirit and lending support to Special Olympics Delaware. The organization is committed to empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities through sports.
“As we reach this significant 20-year milestone hosting the Turkey Trot 5K, we’re immensely proud of our enduring commitment to supporting Special Olympics Delaware and its incredible athletes,” said Jen Neal, Community Events, Activities & Outreach Manager at Sea Colony. “This event embodies our dedication to promoting health, inclusivity, and a sense of unity within our community.”
This inclusive event welcomes participants of all abilities and ages, inviting both seasoned runners and casual walkers to join in support of a meaningful cause. The day promises not just a race, but an experience filled with scenic routes, a sense of togetherness, and the chance to contribute to an impactful charitable organization.
