About the Delco Turkey Trot™ 2026
This is a Thanksgiving morning road race based out of Nether Providence Elementary School, with a shorter kids race running before it. The course goes through neighborhood streets, and the race benefits the school's parent-teacher organization directly. Age group awards go several levels deep, so competitive runners have something to run for beyond the holiday.
Parking at the school is not available on race day, but two nearby lots open up for the event: Creekside Swim Club and Ducklings Wallingford. Bib pickup happens at several points beforehand, including at a local running store in Media the day before, plus a window at the school on race morning. Arriving early is strongly encouraged.

The Delco Turkey Trot™ 2026 has been held every year since at least 2017. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
