About the Chatham, MA Turkey Trot 2026 Run/Walk
This Thanksgiving morning race winds through Chatham on paved roads that roll and curve past the kind of coastal scenery the town is known for. It benefits the Lower Cape Outreach Council, so there is a charitable purpose behind the holiday timing. The course is approachable for walkers and runners alike, and the Thanksgiving morning slot means most people are out there with family in tow.
Packet pickup runs at a couple of locations in the days before the race, including a local running store and the Chatham Community Center, so you have options to collect your bib without scrambling on race morning.
