About the Walter Hill Turkey Trot
This is a Thanksgiving morning race in Swedesboro, put on by a local Renaissance program. It runs as a walk or run, with strollers welcome, so the field tends to look like a neighborhood out for the holiday rather than a racing scene. The course details are not elaborated on, but the event is built to be accessible to first-timers and younger runners.
Check-in opens before the start, and all registration, including race-morning sign-up, is handled online by credit or debit card. An awards ceremony follows shortly after the run wraps up.
