About the Lehigh Valley Turkey Trot 2026
The course runs along the Ironton Rail Trail, so the surface is smooth and the grade is essentially flat the whole way. Several distance options are available, all starting and finishing at the same spot beside the historic Saylor Cement Kilns. The trail setting keeps things quiet and open, with enough room that runners spread out quickly after the start.
Packet pickup and bib collection happen on race morning before the start, so there is no need to make a separate trip the day before. Post-race, the organizers put together a spread at the finish area.
