November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness month, and for the past 15 years, we have kicked it off with a 5K Walk/Run to raise awareness and support for Alzheimer's in our community.
This year, join us for the 16th annual Turkey Trot 5K Walk/Run!
When: Saturday, November 7, 2026
Where: Morehead Conference Center
Race Time: 9:00 AM (New Start Time in 2026!)
We hope you can join us for a fun morning, including a health fair, refreshments, and education on Alzheimer's Disease. A more detailed agenda will be posted soon!
This special event raises awareness for Alzheimer’s disease, with all proceeds benefiting the Sisters of Notre Dame Eastern Kentucky Foundation Alzheimer’s and Dementia Caregiver Fund. Every dollar stays right here in our service region to support local families and caregivers.
