Texarkana Texas hosted their annual 5K Turkey Trot this past Thanksgiving day and the turnout was fruitful! 

This past Thanksgiving day, Texarkana’s Community Healthcore Foundation hosted its 10th annual 5k Turkey Trot. This event is hosted every year in hopes of raising support and funding for the foundation. 

According to TXK Today, “All proceeds raised from the event go towards supporting Community Healthcore Foundation, a non-profit agency that is responsible for providing mental health services, intellectual and developmental disability programming, substance use disorder treatment, and assistance to homeless veterans in 9 counties across Northeast Texas, including Bowie, Cass, and Red River Counties.”

The run was at Spring Lake Park and started at 8:30 am and ended around 10 am with about 350 participants in total this year. Students of the school district, parents, teachers, and many more got together on Thanksgiving Day to give back to their community. 

This year was unique since it was the 10th annual 5k Trot, demonstrating that the Turkey Trot has continued to be successful and reliable for the past decade when it comes to supporting community health core, despite the pandemic and other events.

Every year the 5k Turkey Trot updates about where it will be hosted and other various details will be available on the Community Healthcore Foundation website as well as their event page on their Facebook page as well.
