About the race
The Turkey Day Trail Trot is a trail running event at Battle Creek Regional Park in Maplewood, Minnesota, with start and race location at 2350 Upper Afton Rd. The course uses a mix of paved trail and off‑pavement cross country ski trails and is generally rolling rather than flat, with a few challenging hills. The 5K is one outer loop, the 10K is two laps of the 5K course, and the 3K for kids begins with the 5K field then takes a shortcut to the finish.
- 10K two laps
- 5K one lap
- 3K kids shortcut course
Long sleeve T shirts are provided to all runners. Podium Pies are awarded to the top female and top male finisher at the completion of each distance. Bib and packet pick-up is available Wednesday the 25th from noon to 6:00 pm at TC Running, 868 Randolph Ave, St Paul, MN 55102, and also on the morning of the event.
Calm, friendly dogs are welcome when kept on a fixed, non-extendable leash and when runners are mindful of others; dog owners are advised to start toward the back of the field. Organizers may shorten or cancel races for severe weather such as extreme heat and humidity, high winds, or lightning, and use ACSM heat and humidity guidelines and National Weather Service information when making decisions.
