Event overview
The GMAA Turkey Trot takes place on Thursday, November 27, 2025, in Burlington, Vermont. The main event is a 5K held from the UVM Gutterson Fieldhouse area at 147 Spear St., Burlington, VT 05401. There is also a free 1/4-mile kids' race at the Archie Post fields just before the 5K.
Course and logistics
The course is a 5K loop on the UVM women's cross-country course. Surfaces include cinder, paved path, grass, and some single track. The event runs in rain, snow, or shine. Walkers are welcome; walkers and slower runners are asked to line up toward the back for safety at the crowded start. The course does not allow pets, strollers, bicycles, or headphones.
Online registration is open until race morning; race-day registration is available at Gutterson Field House from 9:00 to 9:40 AM. The suggested donation is $5 per person or $10 per family, or a food donation; proceeds go to Feeding Chittenden. The race will use a large race clock, but only the top 10 finishing times will be recorded. Raffle prizes will be awarded after the race to participants and volunteers. Anyone who goes inside Gutterson must be vaccinated and masked or show proof of a recent negative test and be masked. There are no refunds, deferrals, or transfers.
