About the race
The Indian Head Turkey Trot on November 14 is a chip-timed running event held at the Indian Head Rail Trail in White Plains, Maryland. The event offers in-person and virtual options and awards series points toward the Year-Long 5k, 10k and Back of the Pack Series as well as the Fall Series.
The event features:
- 5k
- 10k (two laps on the out-and-back course)
The course is a flat, paved out-and-back that runs along creeks and through woods. Runners receive a finisher’s medal, a technical (Dri-Fit) event shirt, and chip timing. T-shirt sizes are guaranteed for those registered before November 4; extras may be available after that date on a first-come, first-served basis. Packet pickup is available at the event; organizers recommend arriving about one hour before the start to check in. Race day registration is offered, though shirt sizes cannot be guaranteed for late registrants.
Water stations are placed along the course: three stations on the 10k at approximately miles 1.55, 3.1, and 4.65, and one station on the 5k at about mile 1.55; some stations will also offer Gatorade. Port-a-johns are located near the check-in area.
The race benefits Lovepaws, an organization focused on keeping pets in homes and out of shelters through outreach in Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties, Maryland. Live results will be posted online and final results with series points are published the Monday after the race. Awards are given to the top three men and women overall and to top finishers in standard age categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
