Located on the campus of Gilford Community Church and reflecting its mission of inclusivity, Gilford Youth Center (GYC) will host the 14th Annual GYC Turkey Trot 5k Race & Family Walk on Thursday, November 25.
“What began as a small group of locals getting together for a morning run on Thanksgiving morning has turned into an annual event with over 400 people from throughout New England,” said GYC Director Scott Hodsdon. “It is a great way to start your holiday.”

The first 100 to register receive a long sleeve Turkey Trot shirt. According to Pastor Michael Graham of Gilford Community Church, the “best part” about the popular holiday event is the joy he sees on participants’ faces.
“This is an event for everyone and all ages, which is the theme of our church, too,” he said. “If you are not aware of our church or our youth center, this is a great event where you can get a sense for this inclusive, welcoming community.”
The cost to register is $26 per person or $90 for a family of up to five people. To learn more, or to register, visit gilfordyouthcenter.com.
