The 10th Annual Savage Family Turkey Trot 5k (Run/Walk)

🎉 Welcome to the 10th Annual Savage Family Turkey Trot

Get ready for it.... THIS YEAR MARKS THE 10TH ANNUAL SAVAGE FAMILY TURKEY TROT!! It amazes me what we have accomplished as a community. I had no idea that this race would make such an impact on the families of South Portland and I have all of you to thank for it!!

🏃‍♂️ About the Event

My kids (who were almost 7 yrs old at the time) and I decided to create this Thanksgiving morning event back in 2016 to honor their dad Nathan. Nathan was an avid runner, biker, triathlete and family man who lost his life to a fatal heart attack on July 2, 2016, just three weeks before he was set to compete in his first full Ironman event, and just months prior to his 40th birthday.

💖 Community Impact

• Profits: We work solely as volunteers and give 100% of our profits back to the kids of South Portland.
• Scholarships: Most of the money has gone to the Nathan Savage Memorial Fund, a scholarship account through the South Portland Community Center that gives financial assistance to any child wanting to participate in one of their youth development programs.
• Donations: We have donated over $100K back to our community since 2016!
• Support: I would like to thank our sponsors for their continued support, as their donations pay for the cost of the race so that your registration fees go directly to the kids!

🎊 Get Involved

Let's get out there and make this the best year ever!! Stay tuned for possible fun events, prizes, etc. I want to celebrate this big event and I know my Nathan wouldn't want it any other way.

🙏 Thank You

Thank you, thank you, thank you...

Nellie, Reese, Maizie, and Charlie Savage
