Event Details

With over 1000 participants in 2017 The Run Turkey Run has continued to be the largest charity fitness event in Watertown. It currently consists of a 5k Race (The Run Turkey Run), a 5k walk (The Walk Turkey Walk), and a 1k kids run (Trotter’s 1k Fun Run) which will include both Trotter and Santa running along side the kids. The kids run will not start until after the final walker has crossed the finish line so we’ll ensure you’re back in time to cheer them on!

Race Day Registration from 7:30am-8:45am.

5K Race and Walk start at 9am; Kids 1K starts at 10am.

Awards will be given to the top 3 male and females along with top 3 in each age divison. The course is well-marked and safe. Enjoy music before, during, and after the race. Stick around after the race for fun, fruit, muffins and coffee, and awards.
