In year's past, the Turkey Trot has used to proceeds to fund various projects for the Platte C anyon High School Cross Country Program. This year, the 285 Turkey Trot will be donating 10% of all race profits, along with 100% of donations raised from the donation tab being donated by CRATES Colorado, to Evergree n High School Athletics, in wake of their recent school shooting t hat took place on September 11th, 2025. We hope that they will be able to u se these funds for anything their student athletes may need in these challe nging times. CRATES Colorado stands strong with EHS! Go Cougars!
