About the 2026 Kent Turkey Trot
The Kent Turkey Trot runs Thanksgiving morning out of Fred Fuller Park, with a short fun run for the little ones and a longer timed race for everyone else. The course is a straightforward road and path route through the park area, flat enough that families and slower runners are comfortable alongside people actually racing.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at the Kent Park and Rec Shelter House on Middlebury Road, and again race morning before the start. There is no race-day registration. Parking is across the street from the Shelter House.
