About the Cardinal John Foley School Turkey Trot (20th Annual)

This Turkey Trot runs a couple of loops through the Brookline neighborhood, starting and finishing near Annunciation BVM Church on Wexford Road. The streets are residential, and the course doubles back on itself, so spectators get more than one look at the runners. There is also a short dash for the youngest kids just before the main race goes off.

Bib pickup runs the evening before at the church hall, with race-morning pickup available as well. The hall is open before the start for gear storage and restrooms. Afterward, the party moves back inside with kids crafts, face painting, raffle baskets, and a visit from Santa. Post-race refreshments are also part of the spread.

Common Questions About the Cardinal John Foley School Turkey Trot (20th Annual)

Will I finish last at the Cardinal John Foley School Turkey Trot (20th Annual)?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 27:53, and the last recorded finisher came in around 44:37, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Cardinal John Foley School Turkey Trot (20th Annual) a good first 5K?

A field of 209 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Cardinal John Foley School Turkey Trot (20th Annual)?

The 5K winner ran 16:10 while the median finisher took 27:53. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
