About the Tough 10 & Fast 5 Turkey Trot
Both distances start and finish at Ghiloni Park, rolling through the hills shared between Marlborough and Hudson. The terrain is not flat; there is real climbing throughout, and course marshals are posted along the way. No entry fee changes hands at registration, but runners bring canned goods or non-perishables to support two local food pantries.
Post-race refreshments are set up at the park after the finish. The race is a long-running Strider tradition, and there is a team award alongside individual honors, so showing up with a group is worth organizing.

The Tough 10 & Fast 5 Turkey Trot has been held every year since at least 2024. 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 Oct 18, 2026.
