About the Winthrop Viking Turkey Trot
The course runs through Ingleside Park, keeping things relatively contained and easy to follow. The race has a couple of distance options, including a shorter dash aimed at younger runners, so the start area tends to draw a wide range of ages. It is timed for the week before Thanksgiving, which gives the morning a holiday-week feel without the chaos of race-day travel.
Stick around after finishing, as the organizers plan refreshments and treats at the park. Additional post-race activities are still being announced, so the finish-line scene may grow. Parking and packet pickup details have not been spelled out yet, so it is worth watching the race's official channels as the event gets closer.
