Wellesley Turkey Trot

Based in Wellesley, Massachusetts, the Wellesley Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving morning running event featuring a USATF-certified 5K and a Kids Fun Run. The 5K starts and finishes at Linden Square and winds through the town: Linden Street, Crest Road, Central Street, Weston Road, Washington Street, and College Road into the Wellesley College campus, then back via Central Street to Linden Street, passing the Boston Marathon Scream Tunnel along the way. The Kids Run, limited to 300 participants, is for children 10 and under.

The event supports community partners, awards top overall and age-group finishers, and encourages team and school participation in a festive, family-friendly atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
