Christ Church Hosts the
2007 Turkey Trot 5K Fun Run/Walk

Certified by USA Track & Field
and New Chip Timing!
(Means no more waiting in line to finish!)

Put on your running shoes, or your walking shoes, or even grab your kids and a stroller. Christ Church of Arlington is hosting its annual Arlington Turkey Trot: 5k Fun Run/Walk around the Lyon Park and Ashton Heights neighborhood.

The new Chip Timing means no more standing in line to finish!

The mission of the Arlington Turkey Trot is to provide an opportunity for people of all ages to enjoy a fun, healthy Thanksgiving activity together, and to raise support for two local charities: Arlington-Alexandria Coalition for the Homeless (AACH) and Doorways for Women & Families. Visit our "Local Ministries" page for more about these two groups.

In 2007, (see photos) the Arlington Turkey Trot had 1,175 registered participants and we raised more than $17,000 for the two charities. Checks were presented in January 2008 and we celebrated God's grace in blessing this effort to help our community.
Read more about the 2007 race and see the racing results!

Last year was such a success and we received such great feedback that this year we expect to have more than 1,500 participants! So join us for this wonderful cause and fun run/walk!

The Arlington Turkey Trot course has been measured and certified by USA Track & Field as 5 kilometers. The USA Track & Field Code number is VA-07028-RT.
