Newtown's Inaugural Turkey Trot
Join Us for the Inaugural Newtown Turkey Trot this Thanksgiving Morning!
In Honor of Officer Brian Gregg
This Thanksgiving, lace up your running shoes for a meaningful cause at the Newtown Turkey Trot 5K, a new community tradition in the heart of Newtown Borough. The race, set for Thanksgiving morning (Thursday, November 27 at 9:00 AM), is more than just a fun run –it's an opportunity to come together in remembrance, gratitude, and support. And what better day to unite as a community and give thanks than Thanksgiving itself?
This event is being held in memory of Officer Brian Gregg, a dedicated member of the Newtown Borough Police Department who tragically lost his life in the line of duty on September 29, 2005. Officer Gregg had just begun serving full-time when he was fatally shot while on duty in the emergency department at St. Mary Medical Center.
Brian left behind his loving wife, Kella Ann Kneubuehl Gregg, and his son, Kyle Gregg. This year marks 20 years since his passing, a solemn milestone that reminds us not only of his sacrifice but of the enduring legacy he left behind.
Proceeds from the race will benefit the Bucks County Heroes Scholarship Fund, which provides educational scholarships to the children of local first responders — law enforcement, firefighters, EMS personnel, and correctional officers — who have been killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. This cause is especially close to our hearts; Officer Gregg’s son, Kyle, was a recipient of this very scholarship, allowing him to pursue his education in the wake of unimaginable loss. Your participation helps honor sacrifices like Officer Gregg’s and supports the families they’ve left behind.
As a proud Newtown-based company, we at Always Advancing are honored to play a part in this meaningful local tradition by producing the custom finisher medals and quarter zips for the inaugural race, featured below. Being able to contribute to an event that celebrates community, gratitude, and remembrance, right here in our hometown, means so much to our team. We’re thrilled to help bring this event to life and cannot wait to see our work worn and displayed by participants on race day.
