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.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2025 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Tipp Turkey Trot has been held every year since at least 2017. 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 Jul 27, 2026.
