Register to run in the annual Troy Turkey Trot, or wake up early Thanksgiving morning to cheer from the sidelines! |
TROY NY — Since 1916, the Troy Turkey Trot has inspired runners, young and old, to get up and race each year on Thanksgiving morning. The race has grown into one of the largest road races in upstate New York with approximately 6,000 people expected participate. This year, the oldest race in the Capital Region continues in tradition with a few new changes in store.
All Turkey Trot events will start at 4th Avenue and Fulton this year, which allows for much more room for runners to line up for the start of each race. There will be new start times for events (see below) and there will be no race day registration. Participants will be offered disposable timing strips to track runners' times.
