Zacks Place Thanksgiving Turkey Trot

Zacks Place Thanksgiving Turkey Trot is a 5K run and walk held on Thanksgiving Day in Woodstock, Vermont, with in-person participation at Woodstock Elementary School (15 South Street). The course winds through Woodstock’s historic village—passing Billings Farm and Mountain Avenue, then returning to the Town Green. A notable feature is the Zack’s Place Virtual Global Turkey Trot, enabling participants to join from anywhere.

The event offers a festive, family-friendly atmosphere, sometimes with live music, and all proceeds support Zack’s Place’s operations. Established in 2007, it has grown into a major fundraiser, attracting thousands and raising substantial funds for programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
