About the Walkerton Parks Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot
This is a trail race through the parks, held on Thanksgiving morning before anyone sits down to eat. The course is unpaved, so expect dirt underfoot rather than asphalt. If wet weather makes the trails unusable, the race shifts to roads through town instead, so conditions on the day will determine what you run on.
Check-in happens race morning before the start. No strollers or pets are allowed out on the course. Timing is unofficial, so there are no chip results to chase, just the trail and the holiday.
