The Weld Legacy Foundation along with the CardioVascular Institute of North Colorado at North Colorado Medical Center (NCMC) hosted the 27th Annual Turkey Trot, presented by Chevron on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2024.
On a brisk yet dry Thanksgiving morning, over 2,500 runners and walkers participated in the 2K/5K Fun Run/Walk, one of the largest Turkey Trot races on Thanksgiving Day in Northern Colorado! Net proceeds of over $56,000 will be utilized to assist Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab patients in our community.
The Weld Legacy Foundation extends a big thank you to our outstanding sponsors, volunteers, and committee members who helped make the event so successful! Thank you also to our amazing community of race participants. Whether this was your first Turkey Trot or 27th, our community of runners and walkers makes the NCMC Turkey Trot thrive. We are proud to be a morning tradition for many families and friends to get in a workout in a fun and festive way before Thanksgiving dinner!
A special thank you to Kamryn Pace, once again, for her beautiful performance of the national anthem.
The Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation program at NCMC helps patients with heart and pulmonary conditions live healthier lives. A team of cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation specialists tailor individual exercise, diet, and treatment programs to meet each patient’s needs. Studies have demonstrated that patients who participate in cardiac rehabilitation programs have a significant reduction in their mortality rates, earlier return to work, significantly improved quality of life, and learn valuable skills that can prevent complications and hospitalizations. The Cardiac Rehabilitation program has been recognized by the prestigious American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation as a certified program.
