Framingham Turkey Classic 5K Road Race

On November 26, 2026, runners will gather for the annual Veterans Outreach Center-Metrowest race, an inspiring run that supports local veterans and community charities. The event is sponsored by the Framingham Fire Department Local 1652 and the Framingham Police Association.
The course covers a scenic 3.1-mile route starting and finishing at the Framingham Police Department, offering runners a chance to explore the charming streets of Framingham while raising awareness for important causes. Participants can look forward to cash prizes for the top male and female finishers, as well as awards in various age categories from 10 & under through 80+ years old.
In addition to individual race divisions, there are special categories for wheelchair competitors and first responders, ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to contribute and celebrate their achievements. As runners cross the finish line, they'll be greeted by a festive atmosphere filled with community support and encouragement from spectators.
The event encourages participants to lace up early in the day so they can enjoy all the Thanksgiving festivities later on without feeling rushed or tired. Join us for this meaningful race that combines athletic competition with heartfelt charity efforts.
