About the Titletown Turkey Trot

The course starts and finishes on the turf football field at Boyle County High School, then heads out onto paved roads and a walking path through Millennium Park. The longer distance is chip timed with overall and age group awards. The race honors a beloved member of the Danville community, and a scholarship for his children is part of what entry fees support.

Parking is at the high school. Packet pickup runs the evening before, with race-morning pickup available at the stadium starting well before the gun. A Thanksgiving-themed photo op and someone in a turkey costume are part of the scene, and race photos are provided free of charge.

Common Questions About the Titletown Turkey Trot

Will I finish last at the Titletown Turkey Trot?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 34:21, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:06:46, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Titletown Turkey Trot a good first 5K?

A field of 254 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Titletown Turkey Trot?

The 5K winner ran 18:29 while the median finisher took 34:21. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
