Held by the Wellness Council of Boyertown, a program of the Boyertown Area Multi-Service, the Turkey Trot has become a favorite family tradition, attracting hundreds of participants of all ages and abilities from near and far. There will be awards presented to the top overall male and female, the top three winners for multiple age brackets for the 5K race, the largest family and the person who traveled the farthest, plus many giveaways for anyone who pre-registered for the 5K or 1-Mile fun run.

The Boyertown Turkey Trot was started in memory of Clifford Reigner, who was an avid sports enthusiast, athlete and long-time supporter of the Boyertown community and the sports programs. During his high school years, he earned varsity letters in football and track and field.
As a supporter of Boyertown sports, he was a member of BAFA, the Victory Mile and the Wellness Council of Boyertown, and he was instrumental in the building of the Boyertown football field/stadium.
