About the Turkey Trot Victoria

This is a Thanksgiving morning race held at Patriot Park, a venue also known as Saxet Lakes. The course is a chip-timed road race with age group awards. There is also a short kids' distance option running slightly after the main event, so families with young children can make a morning of it.

Bib pickup happens race morning only, in the hour or so before the start, at Patriot Park. Each runner must be present in person to collect their bib, no exceptions. Parking is also at the park, so you can pull in, get your bib, and be on the start line without going anywhere else.

Common Questions About the Turkey Trot Victoria

Will I finish last at the Turkey Trot Victoria?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 33:53, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:04:59, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Turkey Trot Victoria a good first 5K?

A field of 304 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 Turkey Trot Victoria?

The 5K winner ran 19:03 while the median finisher took 33:53. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
