The Turkey Trot is a family-oriented gratitude event that takes place annually on Thanksgiving morning in Dedham. Each year, we gather for a morning of joy, gratitude, and movement with the greater Dedham community. Through the trot, we raise funds for Dedham Food Pantry, Dedham Youth Commission, and local Ripples Initiatives.

Over the last 13 years, the Family Gratitude Turkey Trot has hosted 16,000+ runners and spectators and donated over 30,000 pounds of food for the Dedham Food Pantry. We have raised and distributed $400,000 since our inaugural year in 2012. Learn more at https://www.ripplesofhope.org/turkey-trot.
