About the Paris, TX - 51st Annual Turkey Trot
The race starts at the Love Civic Center pavilion on Thanksgiving morning and heads out along the Trail de Paris, an out-and-back route that brings you right back to where you began. The course runs a trail path, so expect a natural surface rather than open road.
Packet pickup runs the two days before the race at Paris Fitness and Aquatics on Deshong Drive, with long evening hours on both days. If you miss those windows, pickup moves to race morning at the pavilion. Pre-race pickup is strongly encouraged so you have your bib pinned and ready before the start.
