Yes - but it's a hassle for you and a hassle for us. Register on line - it's quick and easy and saves you time and money.
Is the race held rain or shine?
Yes - we run in the snow too. Weather forecasters always change their forecasts and are often wrong!
Is there any place where we can store our belongings during the race?
Sorry, there is no secure baggage check. There is a huge indoor field house open before and after the race but of course you should not leave any valuables unattended.
Where can I see the race course?

What is the Challenger Division?
Several years ago the Turkey Trot Committee established the Challenger Division Race. These competitors, who are physically challenged, wanted to run on a special course so that they too could help raise money for charity. The Race Committee welcomes their spirit and contributions.
Where can I get a mail-in race application?
If you prefer not to register online, you can print and mail in this PDF copy of the race application.
Will I have fun if I run this race and feel much better about stuffing myself with turkey and pumpkin pie later in the day?
Yes - in fact, you can eat twice as much guilt free - be sure to ask for extra whipped cream on your desserts!
