Event details
The 2025 PPTC Turkey Trot: Race for Reconciliation is a 23rd annual, organized 5-mile road race in Prospect Park, Brooklyn on Thursday, November 27, 2025. The event is presented by Brooks Running and organized by the Prospect Park Track Club. It includes a charity bib option; 100% of charity bib proceeds go to the American Indian Community House (AICH).
The race uses two starting waves. Runners are assigned to a wave based on anticipated finish time; runners assigned to Wave 1 may move to Wave 2 to run with friends, but runners in Wave 2 may not move to Wave 1. Runners must be in Wave 1 to be eligible for overall prizes. Top three overall finishers in each category (Men, Women, Nonbinary) will receive gift certificates to a local business. Brooks will award running shoes to five runners in each wave.
