About this race
WHAT:
Hampstead Kiwanis Park Turkey Trot
This is a wonderful annual family event. All children who participate in the Kids Sprint receive a medal on a lanyard. Many Marines and running groups attend. Trophies are awarded to the top three finishers in their age category.
Since 2007 the Hampstead Turkey Trot has become a tradition for many families and continues to help spread enthusiasm about living an active lifestyle.
