Thanksgiving is the perfect time to give thanks, give back, and get moving! The X-Factor EDU x Snorkl Run Forward, Give Back Virtual 5K Turkey Trot is back for its second year—and this time, we’re trotting with purpose.
This fun, flexible, and feel-good virtual 5K fundraiser invites educators, families, and runners everywhere to support FeedAmerica.org. Together, we’re aiming to raise $1,000 to help feed families in need this holiday season—and the best part? Snorkl is matching donations up to $750!
🏃♀️ How to Join the Virtual 5K
Joining the Turkey Trot is simple (and won’t require you to dodge any actual turkeys). Here’s how it works:
- Sign Up & Donate: Click here to register for the 5K and donate any amount toward our $1,000 goal.
- Complete Your 5K: Run, walk, or jog anywhere, anytime between November 22nd through November 30th.
- Snorkl Your Reflection: After you finish, record your reflection video in our special Snorkl activity and share your “run forward, give back” story!
- Claim Your Medal: Everyone who donates, completes the 5K, and records their Snorkl video will receive a Turkey Trot Medal, thanks to Snorkl.
🎁 Bonus for Generous Donors
Those who donate $10 or more, complete the 5K, and share their “run forward, give back” story through the special Snorkl activity will also receive a free copy of a book of your choice:
- Cooking Up Experiences: Focus On Experiences, Not Just Lessons by Gabriel Carrillo
- Always Stop at a Lemonade Stand: Empowering Student Independence by Dr. Matthew X. Joseph
💛 Why “Run Forward, Give Back”?
Because Thanksgiving isn’t just about the feast, it’s about gratitude, generosity, and giving back. This event brings together runners, educators, and friends to support a cause that matters while having a little fun (and maybe earning that second helping of pie).
You could run or walk through your neighborhood, hit the treadmill, or jog around the track while knowing every step makes a difference. Let’s move together, give together, and help families in need this Thanksgiving.

I signed up for EdTech Feed America Snorkl TurkeyTrot but have not seen the email reminder to bd sent out 11-17 with link to record Snorkl reflection. I did not see any other contact info on the Feed America team page so hope this gets to Gabriel.
Hey, Carol. Sending it to your inbox later. Thanks for donating and joining us!
