About the Turtle Derby 5k Trail Race
The course winds through the trails at Hopkins Farm Brewery, a working farm brewery outside of town. The terrain meanders rather than charges anywhere, so expect a winding path through the property rather than a point-to-point road race. Turtle costumes are genuinely encouraged, and the costume prizes suggest a good chunk of the field takes that seriously.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at the Susquehannock Wildlife Conservation Center, with a race-morning option at the brewery itself. After the race, the brewery hosts a party with live music and beer available for purchase. The whole event benefits local turtle and wildlife conservation, which gives it a specific purpose beyond the running.

The Turtle Derby 5k Trail Race has been held every year since at least 2026. 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 25, 2026.
