About the Tom Turkey Trot 2026
The course is paved throughout and winds through a neighborhood on rolling hills, with light traffic. It runs in memory of a local man the race was founded to support, and the charitable focus has continued since his passing. Dogs, strollers, and all paces are welcome.
Pancakes wait at the finish, open to runners and spectators alike. The race falls right at the start of Thanksgiving week, which gives the morning a particular feeling that a midsummer race never quite has.
