The Turkey Trot is named after Peter Oley, a longtime track coach in Irvington. Oley was the "godfather of running" and helped create the race. Peter K. Oley was the admired coach of the Irvington High School track and cross country teams for 50 years. Oley had a 422-47 record in outdoor track and a 278-75 record in cross country. He closed out his career in 2006 with a 133 dual-meet winning streak. Overall, his track and cross-country teams captured a combined 27 Section 1 titles, helping him earn 12 Coach of the Year accolades. In 2002, he was inducted into the Westchester Sports Hall of Fame.
The runners complete a 2.5 mile course set throughout the village for the race that has been held every year since 1978, starting by the Dows Lane Elementary School, looping up through the village and finishing just off the Aqueduct in Memorial Park, mixing some hills, some dales, some roads, some dirt, some grass and lots of fun.
