Founded in 1916. Visit www.troyturkeytrot.com for details.
Since its humble beginnings in 1916, when six runners entered, the Troy Turkey Trot has grown into one of the largest road races in Upstate New York and one of the oldest turkey trots in the United States. We feature four events: the competitive 5k and 10k runs, the one mile Turkey Walk and the Grade School Mile.
