About the 39th Running of the Norwood Turkey Trot

The course covers a few miles of road through one of the prettier residential stretches of Norwood, with enough hills to make you work. It reads as a genuine race rather than a fun run, so expect people going after a time, though the holiday timing draws plenty of casual runners out too.

Common Questions About the The 39th Running of the Norwood Turkey Trot

Will I finish last at the 39th Running of the Norwood Turkey Trot?

Almost certainly not. Half the 4 Miles field finished slower than 37:11, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:17:48, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 39th Running of the Norwood Turkey Trot a good first 4 Miles?

A field of 532 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 4 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 39th Running of the Norwood Turkey Trot?

The 4 Miles winner ran 19:46 while the median finisher took 37:11. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
