Brattleboro Turkey Trot
About this race
FREE RACE run annually since 1975! This is the Red Clover Rovers' gift to Brattleboro-area runners, celebrating moving in the fresh air and joining together as an active community. Come run the classic annual 3-miler on Upper Dummerston Road (1-mile kids' race beforehand!). The race starts and ends near the Brattleboro Country Club.
This event is 100% volunteer-run and donation-funded. Although there's no entry fee, you must register to get a bib and be timed. Race-day registration is only available online; no race-day registration in person. Also, we're asking participants to consider making a donation. Proceeds, after race expenses, will go to Groundworks Collaborative and the Vermont Foodbank.
Check-in and bib number pickup is Thanksgiving morning from 8 to 8:45 a.m. Please be on time to check in, as we sometimes have more than 300 participants. Give yourself a few extra minutes to navigate the busy Country Club parking lot! (Also dress appropriately, as it may be COLD!)
Strollers are welcome; no dogs please. The road will be open, so runners/walkers need to keep to the left and be aware of traffic.
