Fairhaven Turkey Trot
The Fairhaven Turkey Trot is a community 5K run or walk held on Thanksgiving morning in Fairhaven, MA. The event benefits Shepherd's Pantry and other local food stability programs and collects non-perishable food donations at bib pickup and on race day.
The event features a 5K out-and-back route that begins at Cushman Park on Green Street, proceeds down Green to Fort Phoenix, continues up Fort Street past the marina and a water stop to Main Street, turns right on Bridge Street to Mulberry Street, and returns to the Cushman Park track for the finish. Fairhaven Police staff major intersections while event volunteers marshal minor crossings. The route is subject to change.
Registration pricing is tiered: $20 until 06/30/2026, $25 until 10/26/2026, and $30 thereafter. Registration and bib pickup take place at the SMEC Building, 56 Bridge Street, Fairhaven, MA; specific bib pickup windows are provided in event materials. Cash, checks, and card payments are accepted at the scheduled registration times. Sponsors help offset costs for participant shirts, bibs, and police details so that more funds support community partners. Volunteers assist with course safety and event operations.
