Sign up early - the race sells out every year!
We’re back for the 13th Annual Newton Turkey Trot on Sunday, November 22nd!
What began as a small neighborhood run has grown into one of Newton’s favorite traditions, bringing together more than 1,700 runners to celebrate health, wellness, community, and giving back.
We’ve been especially inspired by runners who wear their Turkey Trot shirts near and far, reminding us to bring your sneakers everywhere and keep spreading the love!
The event features our scenic, USATF Certified 5K course, plus a 1-mile kids fun run, both designed to engage the whole family.
As always, 100% of proceeds will support:
Register by October 22nd to snag this year’s limited-edition Turkey Trot t-shirt!

Both races start & finish at Zervas Elementary School.
The parking lot at Zervas Elementary School will be CLOSED. Limited parking is available on Allen Street and other neighboring streets. Please consider walking if you're close enough to do so!
