About the New Canaan Turkey Trot
The course runs through Waveny Park, looping out and back to the Main House. It is a short Thanksgiving-week run on park grounds, with chip timing, so the results are precise even if the pace is whatever you feel like that morning.
Packet pickup is available the two mornings and the afternoon before the race at the New Canaan Library, with race-day check-in as well. There is an optional group warm-up before the start. All proceeds go to a homeless shelter in Norwalk.

The New Canaan Turkey Trot has been held every year since at least 2015. 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.
