Liverpool Turkey Trot
The Liverpool Turkey Trot is a 501(c)(3) road event held every Thanksgiving morning at Onondaga Lake Park near Griffins Visitor Center in Liverpool, NY. The event is in its 12th year and the field has grown from 124 starters in its first year to over 2,400 participants. The presenting sponsor is Bluefors.

The event offers in-person and virtual options, including:
- 5K
- 5 Mile
- Kid's "Fast Feet" Run (approx. 0.50 miles)
- Dog Walk (approx. 0.75 miles)
- Virtual events for kids, 5K, and 5 Mile
Packet pickup for in-person and virtual participants is handled at Home Team Pub the days before the race and at the registration tent on race day. The first 2,000 registered 5K and 5 Mile participants are guaranteed a soft long-sleeve shirt at packet pickup; additional shirts may be available afterward on a first-come, first-served basis. The event uses Chrono track bib timing and posts live results with Leone Timing. Age-group awards are based on net (chip) time; overall awards use gun time. Parking is available in lots and designated street spots near Griffins Visitor Center, the Salt Museum, and Liverpool Village; some lots are privately owned and may charge for parking. Dogs must be on a 6' leash and may only participate in the dog walk; owners must clean up after their pets. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
