The Sunapee Turkey Trot supports the Sunapee Recreation Department, with all proceeds dedicated to the department. This year, proceeds will go toward supporting the Recreation Department's mission to enhance community facilities, with funds evenly distributed among Dewey Field, Veterans Field, and Tilton Park.

Sunapee Recreation’s mission is to offer high-quality activities and facilities to all Sunapee residents and their guests. The department aims to enrich the mind, body, and spirit while promoting participation, enjoyment, and learning through its programs.
