About the CBI Turkey Trot 2026

The course starts on Broad Street outside a local coffee shop and covers a standard road distance through Middletown. The race draws both solo runners and corporate teams competing for a traveling trophy, which gives the morning a dual character: people genuinely racing, and groups of coworkers out together. Proceeds go toward community programs run by the organizers.

Packet pickup runs the evening before inside Triple Moon Coffee Company, which is also the race-day hub. Parking is available in a nearby bus station lot and the surrounding area. Strollers and dogs on leash are welcome at the start. After the race, the coffee shop is right there.

Common Questions About the CBI Turkey Trot 2026

Will I finish last at the CBI Turkey Trot 2026?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 41:23, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:06:32, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the CBI Turkey Trot 2026 a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (180 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the CBI Turkey Trot 2026?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 16:25 while the median finisher took 41:23. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
