Duxbury Recreation Department - 50th Annual Turkey Trot 5k Road Race

On the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving, Duxbury hosts an inclusive 5k road race that welcomes runners of all skill levels. The out-and-back course winds through charming residential streets and offers participants the chance to experience the town's serene autumn atmosphere. As a gesture of community support, organizers encourage attendees to bring a non-perishable food item for donation to the local food bank upon registration or at the start line.
The race is designed with safety in mind, so runners are kindly requested not to bring their pets along. This ensures that all participants can enjoy the event without any distractions and maintain focus on their personal goals.
Runners will find a well-marked route that highlights Duxbury's picturesque landscapes, making it an ideal outing for those looking to lace up before the holiday season begins. The race is not only about crossing the finish line but also about contributing to the community in a meaningful way.
