15th Annual SMT Turkey Trot 5K & Tri!
The SMT Turkey Trot is a fun 5K run/walk/tri through the borough of New Cumberland. It is a family event with races for children and adults alike. There are interesting things on the course to entertain and amuse you. After you cross the finish line, enjoy plenty of food and prizes!
In Memory of Shirley Mae Taylor
The run is named after Shirley Mae Taylor who passed away in 2003 after a long, hard battle with cancer. The race is held in New Cumberland because she loved the town. Shirley worked at Coakley’s restaurant for years, loved the West Shore Theater and the library, and never missed an Apple Festival. We hold this event on Thanksgiving morning because it was one of her favorite holidays and it emphasizes family and tradition.
