Juniors – high school students, per US Rowing juniors definition

Open – all other eligible runners – men and women not eligible to run masters or juniors divisions
Guests – all others. Prize for first guest, male and female, only. Guests not eligible for other prizes.
Novice – running in the Turkey Trot for the first time. A trophy and prize is presented to the first male and female novice. Novice is a subcategory, so you enter novice open, novice master or novice junior.

The Course
The course is 5 and 5/8 miles over hilly terrain. Starting at Malta Boat Club on Kelly Drive, the runners go outbound on Kelly to Brewery Hill, turn right and go up and over Girard Avenue bridge, then right onto Lansdowne Avenue. Just past Sweetbriar cutoff, the course turns right and starts the true “cross country” segment: from here the race is over grassy surface. Runners go to Meade Monument, then follow the cyclone fence to the Pagoda entrance gate, cross thru the service entrance to Belmont Plateau, up the hill to Belmont Mansion, and return by way of Brewery Hill, down Kelly Drive to Malta.

Rules
Points for team trophies will be scored only by the first five finishers from each club for men's teams and the first three finishers from each club for women's teams. Only those eligible in accordance with the Eligibility Rules will be permitted to run in the race. Anyone running with the wrong number (or someone else’s number) will be disqualified and their team (club) will be assessed an additional 25 points.

Award Ceremony
The award ceremony will be held at Fairmount Rowing Association this year. Awards will begin at 10:45 am. We thank Fairmount for their hospitality in hosting the awards ceremony.
