Milford Turkey Trot
The Milford Turkey Trot is an annual charity fun run and walk held in Milford, Connecticut. For 2026 the event starts, ends and celebrates at the Milford Academy and Natatorium Soccer Fields at 80 Park Circle (south east corner of Gulf Street and New Haven Avenue). Routes follow sidewalks along Gulf Street, past Gulf Beach, through Calf Pen Meadow and along Buckingham Avenue and New Haven Avenue.
The event offers multiple course lengths:
- About 3 miles route
- 2 miles out-and-back option to Gulf Beach
- 1 mile out-and-back option
The event welcomes participants running or walking alone, with children, with strollers, or with pets on leashes. Roads are not closed for the event and participants must follow all street laws. The Turkey Trot is presented as a non-timed fun run/walk. Virtual participation is available for those who wish to join remotely.
All proceeds and website donations are directed to local Milford charities including Milford Public Schools, Purple Pantry Boxes, and Avery's Little Army for pediatric cancer support and awareness. The event is volunteer run and relies on volunteers and sponsors. Entry fees and donations are non refundable. Early packet pickup is planned at several local locations in the days before the event. Safety measures include wave starts by route length, no on site registration, no race food or drink provided, and hand sanitizer available.
