Where the money goes

Thanks to our sponsors and in-kind donors, RTT keeps race costs low and 100% of the race net proceeds go directly to support the following organizations.

Half of proceeds

Redlands Educational Partnership

Founded in 1987 to bring the community and Redlands schools together. REP funds enrichment programs and direct grants to teachers and principals across all 24 Redlands Unified School District schools, reaching about 22,000 students. Since 1987 it has contributed more than $2 million to RUSD classrooms. Half of Turkey Trot proceeds go straight into those grants.

Canned food drive

Inland Harvest

Established in late 1990, Inland Harvest has no warehouse. Volunteers move surplus food from donors directly to hunger-relief programs across the Inland Empire the same day, more than 58 million pounds since 1990. Every can you bring to packet pickup or the start line goes to them.

Phoenix Hope International

Not-for-profit

The Redlands Turkey Trot is a not-for-profit event

RTT is all about bringing communities together. Each year runners from near and far gather at the starting line in Redlands, CA not just to run a 5K but to build and support a community they love.

Our goal is to work with community partners to organize a high quality event, while striving to keep overhead low so that more of your registration fees go directly to supporting programs that strengthen families and communities.

If your business wants to be part of that, join our team as a race sponsor. If you'd rather give your time, volunteer.

RUSD students
