Turkey Trot 5K Jasper, IN

12/03/2025

Thank you Turkey Trot participants and sponsors! Because of you the Turkey Trot was able to donate $11,030 to Girls on the Run of Southwest Indiana. The remaining amount will be presented to the Greater Downtown Jasper Business Association next week.

💜 Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it… 💜

We are beyond thankful for Jamie (our incredible GOTR board member), her husband Kyle, and the amazing Downtown Running team for their generosity and unwavering support of Girls on the Run of Southwest Indiana.

Because of YOU, we received an $11,030 donation from the 2025 Turkey Trot, an event that brought together over 640 runners in Jasper on Thanksgiving Day to move with purpose and give back in a powerful way.

This gift directly impacts the lives of our girls, helping remove financial barriers and ensuring more girls can experience the confidence, connection, and life-changing lessons that come from Girls on the Run.

Jamie, Kyle, and the Downtown Running team — thank you for believing in our mission, investing in our girls, and showing what true community partnership looks like. We are so incredibly grateful for you all! 🏃‍♀️🦃💜
