About the Dublin Turkey Trot 2026: Run, Walk
The Dublin Turkey Trot runs through Emerald Glen Park on Thanksgiving morning, put on by the local Rotary Club. Costumes are part of the culture here, turkey and pilgrim outfits especially, so expect the start line to look a little ridiculous in the best way. Money raised goes to local kids' charities and student scholarships in the area.
This one draws families, strollers included, so the pace of the crowd varies widely. It is a fundraiser as much as a race, and that shapes the atmosphere from the parking lot forward.
