Milford Turkey Trot
The Milford Turkey Trot is an annual charity fun run and walk held in Milford, Connecticut. The event donates 100% of its proceeds and website donations to local charities, including Milford Public Schools, Purple Pantry Boxes, and Avery's Little Army for pediatric cancer support and awareness. The event is organized by volunteers and has raised a total of $159,000 for charity across multiple years.
The course is a loop that starts at Fowler Pavilion behind the library and follows Shipyard Lane, Gulf Street past Gulf Beach, Calf Pen Meadow, Buckingham Avenue, and New Haven Avenue before returning to Shipyard Lane. All routes use sidewalks and no roads are closed for the event; participants must follow street laws and prioritize safety. The event is not timed and is presented as a fun run/walk.
There are marked shorter out-and-back options for participants who prefer less distance, and virtual participation is available for those who cannot attend in person. Early packet pickup is offered on several days before the event, with details provided by the organizers. Participants who register by November 3rd are guaranteed a race shirt and packet.
Safety measures include wave starts by route length and speed, no on-site registration, and hand sanitizer available. The event may be converted to virtual if required by health authorities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
