About the Zoom Turkey Trot
The course runs along Coyote Creek trail, an out-and-back on a paved path through parkland. It is a Thanksgiving morning race, and the field turns out for a chance to win a turkey at the finish. The trail is flat and open, which draws a wide range of paces.
Everything happens at Hellyer County Park. Check-in opens race morning at the Buena Vista Pavilion, and the organizers ask you to arrive well before your start. There is a parking fee at the park gate, so bring exact change. You can leave non-valuables near the start if you need to.

Zoom Turkey Trot 2025 Results
Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Zoom Turkey Trot has been held every year since at least 2021. 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.
