The Delaware Valley High School cross-country team held its 12th Annual Turkey Trot 5k run/walk on November 16 to raise money for the cross-country team and local food pantries. According to the school district, 249 runners/walkers came out in the 50-degree temperature to navigate the 3.1-mile cross-country course and finish on the stadium track.
Jordan Snyder, 34, of Port Jervis was the first Overall Male with a time of 17:40 and K. Kilker, 12, of Honesdale was the first Overall Female with a time of 21:41.
KeyFood Marketplace in Milford donated frozen turkeys for their first-place finishes. The participants donated enough non-perishable foods to fill 18 large boxes with food donations. These items were distributed to the Ecumenical Food Pantry of Pike County and the Holy Trinity Food Pantry in Dingmans Ferry. A portion of the proceeds from the race were also donated to both food pantries.
”The cross-country team would like to thank the race registrants for supporting our 5K run/walk,” said the team. “We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation for the generous support of all of our sponsors from the tri-state area and the parents and student volunteers that assisted to make this event a success.”
The 13th annual DV Turkey Trot will be held sometime in November 2025. Check out DV Turkey Trot on Facebook and Instagram for updates.
