About the Upper Valley Turkey Trot 2026
The race runs through Porter Park on Thanksgiving morning, so expect bare trees, cold air, and a crowd that is mostly families treating this as a warm-up before the meal. The pace is unhurried, and the park setting keeps things contained and easy to navigate for anyone who has never run a race before.
The start is at Porter Park, which makes parking and gathering straightforward. Dress for a cold morning; this part of the state in late autumn earns the layering advice.
