2026 River Vale Run 4 the Love and Fitness with Friends Turkey Trot Charity 5K

The Township of River Vale Sponsors this event The vision of Run 4 the Love LLC and Fitness with Friends is to help communities become healthy, fit, and happy by providing coaching, clinics and classes for everyone young and old. We also have had a dream of bringing a 5k race to River Vale which we first did that in the Fall of 2022. And now again, we want River Vale with its picturesque streets, small hometown feel, and vibrant community spirit, to be the star of this 3.1-mile journey with our second annual Turkey Trot. 旅 Why Join Our Turkey Trot 5K This Year? 1. A Healthy Start to the Holidays Running (or walking!) the Turkey Trot is the perfect way to kick off Thanksgiving. You’ll feel energized, burn some calories, and head into the big meal guilt-free. 2. Fun for All Ages & Abilities Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or just want to stroll with family, the Turkey Trot welcomes everyone. Strollers, costumes, and festive spirit are highly encouraged! 3. Community Spirit This race isn’t just about running—it’s about bringing neighbors, friends, and families together. We are hoping this Trot becomes a local tradition that creates lasting memories. 4. Support a Great Cause Proceeds from the event help goes to Helping Hand Food Pantry of Hillsdale.
