All children who take part in the Kids Sprint receive a medal on a lanyard. Trophies are awarded to the top three finishers in each age category for timed events. Packet pickup and the full race schedule are handled by the organizers. Onsite registration is available at pre-race packet pickup and on race morning using a QR code; online registration is also available up until the race starts.
Parking is organized in two main lots: a paved lot at the park main entrance and a gravel lot at the lower end of the park near Country Club Drive. Members of the Hampstead Kiwanis Club will direct parking. Proceeds from the Turkey Trot go to improving Hampstead Kiwanis Park, which serves local youth sports programs and community recreation.
