About the Saxonburg Truthahntrab 5k and 1K Fun Run
The course starts and finishes at Roebling Park, making a loop through town before heading out to former farmland with rolling pastures and a lake. It is almost entirely paved, with a short gravel stretch near the turnaround by the water. The race name means Turkey Trot in German, a nod to the town's heritage, and the finish area has warm drinks and soft pretzels waiting afterward.
Parking is available at several spots around town, including lots near the museum, the Presbyterian church, the library, the hotel, and along Main Street. Roads around the course close before the start and reopen mid-morning, so if you are arriving late or leaving early, stick to Main Street or elsewhere in town rather than the lots closest to the course.

The Saxonburg Truthahntrab 5k and 1K Fun Run has been held every year since at least 2023. 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.
