Common Questions About the Miles for Meals - Turkey Trot and Drumstick Dash

Will I finish last at the Miles for Meals - Turkey Trot and Drumstick Dash?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 38:26, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:31:08, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Miles for Meals - Turkey Trot and Drumstick Dash a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (171 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Miles for Meals - Turkey Trot and Drumstick Dash?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 18:40 while the median finisher took 38:26. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
