About the Tipp Turkey Trot

The Tipp Turkey Trot runs through Kyle Park on Thanksgiving morning, giving it the feel of a neighborhood gathering before the holiday starts. The course offers a shorter and a longer option, so you can pick your distance based on how ambitious you're feeling that day. The race raises money for a local church ministry that provides food for families in need.

Packet pickup happens the evening before at a running store in Troy, with race-morning pickup available at the park for those who can't make it out early. The start area is at Kyle Park, so parking and getting settled should be straightforward.

Common Questions About the Tipp Turkey Trot

Will I finish last at the Tipp Turkey Trot?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 35:07, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:17:49, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Tipp Turkey Trot a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 502 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Tipp Turkey Trot?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:34 while the median finisher took 35:07. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
