Turkey Trot for a Cure 5K Walk/Run for Alzheimer's

Date: Saturday, November 1, 2025

Location: Morehead Conference Center, 111 East First Street, Morehead, KY 40351 US

Description: November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness month and for the past 14 years, we have kicked it off with a 5k walk/run to raise awareness and support for Alzheimer's in our community. The last couple of years have been trying but one thing has not changed; our caregivers still need support, and we need to continue to raise awareness of this terrible memory-robbing disease. The annual Alzheimer's Association Facts & Figures for 2023 are astounding. Over 6 million people in the US have Alzheimer's disease, including 75,000 Kentuckians. The disease affects 1 in 3 older adults, and it is the 6th leading cause of death in the US today for which there is no cure; about half of those who suffer from Alzheimer's disease never receive the diagnosis. On another note, there are millions of unpaid caregivers! Many reside in Morehead & Rowan County. We hope we can count on you to register to participate in person or on your own, and help raise funds and awareness. We hope you can join us for a fun morning, including a silent auction, health fair, refreshments, and education on Alzheimer's Disease. This year's race packets will include a commemorative shirt and race bib. We will host a packet pick-up event before the race. You must register before October 18, 2025, to ensure you get a shirt. All race proceeds will benefit the Sisters of Notre Dame Eastern Kentucky Foundation Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Fund.
