FAQ
Is the race happening in person? No, with COVID restrictions and safety being our ultimate goal, the CF Turkey Trot will be a virtual, but LIVE, event in 2020.
What does virtual, but LIVE mean? Using the Charge app, we'll be able to run or walk together on Thanksgiving morning at 9:00am from wherever we are located. We'll start with the National Anthem, there'll be live messages and announcements, music, and finish line shout outs as you finish your 3.1 miles. Plus, you can contribute messages and photos through the chat option. We hope to create the same festive atmosphere that we always have, just virtually!
How do I access the race? When you register, be sure to include an email that you actually use! We'll send you out a link for the race on Charge the week of Thanksgiving. You can download the app and join the race with the two week trial that the app offers for FREE. The best part? You don't have to enter any payment info or worry about the getting charged once the two weeks is up!
When should I get the app? You can download and play around with the app at any time. If you want to wait, we will send you the information the week of Thanksgiving so that you'll know how to join in! This email will contain a race specific code that will still allow you to join us if your 2 week trial has ended.
What if I don't want/can't download the app? No problem! You don't HAVE to join the live race, but it's a unique option that we wanted to offer to our participants. Run when you want, where you want. You're still supporting a great cause!
If I'm busy on Thanksgiving morning, can I still participate? Absolutely! Sign up and run/walk when and where you want! The race will be available through Charge ON-DEMAND for two weeks after the event! So you can still hear the messages, listen to the music, and pretend that you were there with us!
What's the point if it's not in person? CF Team Natalie is still working to contribute toward extending and improving the lives of folks with CF, even during COVID! We can't safely hold this event in person, but it's a tradition for many, so we wanted to offer a unique opportunity to support the cause, enjoy the morning, and remove some of the guilt from that Thanksgiving meal! Though we can't be together in person, you still get some miles in, receive an awesome shirt, have some fun, and get to enjoy that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you give to a charitable organization.

What folks are saying:
|
My first ever race, and it was fantastic! Well organized, plenty of enthusiasm, a wonderful cause.
The organizers did an outstanding job! I will talk it up to others missing a great time." -Lin Jursted "Just a wonderful Thanksgiving 5K...my son and I have run a 5k each your for the past 3 years (Framingham, MA; Derry, NH; and now Wyoming, NY) and this one was the best. Well organized, a good size but not too big, nice people, etc. Thanks for a great Thanksgiving morning." -Scott Christensen |
"I am a native LeRoyan who currently lives in the Boston, MA area. I ran your turkey trot for the first time yesterday and wanted to let you know what a well run race it was. I just started running 3 years ago in my late 40s and have run a lot of races and would say it was one of the better organized races. Also, I was fortunate to win my age group and wanted to let you know I LOVE the socks. Good luck with your fight against CF and I will be back next year to race again!"
-Tracey Carter "I had such a good time. I’ve never been in a run/walk race in my life, and can’t wait for next year. I wanted to support CF and am so glad I was there." -Dinah Taylor |
