About the Turkey Trot
Run or walk the 2026 Arlington EATS Turkey Trot 5K! Bring the whole family for a fun, festive event (strollers welcome!) supporting access to healthy food for our Arlington neighbors. Afterwards, stay for food, kid-friendly activities, music, the medal ceremony, and more fun!
About Arlington EATS
Arlington EATS’ mission is to engage the community in eliminating food insecurity and hunger in Arlington. For more than 30 years, Arlington EATS has worked to ensure that all neighbors have reliable access to healthy, nutritious food in a welcoming, dignified environment.
Arlington EATS is the largest social service organization in Arlington. Each week, we serve 550 households. Each year, we provide more than 1 million pounds of food — enough for nearly 900,000 meals! — to 3,500 neighbors.
We hope you’ll join us this November to support this critical work and help ensure that our neighbors have access to the food they need.
