Franklin Park Turkey Trot
The Franklin Park Turkey Trot is Boston’s largest Thanksgiving Day race, held annually in Franklin Park, Dorchester, MA. This chip-timed 5K run welcomes participants of all ages and abilities, including walkers, strollers, wheelchairs, and leashed dogs. The scenic course loops around the Franklin Park Golf Course, starting and finishing near the Golf Clubhouse.
The event fosters a community atmosphere, drawing runners primarily from nearby neighborhoods like Roxbury, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, and Mattapan, but is open to all. Awards are given for top finishers, costumes, fastest dog, and stroller. Ample parking and restroom facilities are available, with early bib pickup encouraged due to frequent sellouts.
