About the race
The Ridgefield Public Schools Foundation presents the 10th Annual Turkey Trot on Thursday, November 26 at Union Ridge Elementary School in downtown Ridgefield. The event is a community 5K fun run/walk routed through Abrams Park and along Lake River, and it raises funds for scholarships and grants for students, teachers, and staff. Last year’s event had more than 1,000 participants.
Distances and event types:
- Drumstick Dash, short run for children ages 5 and under not yet in kindergarten
- 5K fun run/walk, scenic route via Abrams Park, Gee Creek, Lake River, and Carty Lake
Race packet pick-up and in-person registration are offered the day before the event and on the morning of the event in the Union Ridge Elementary School gym. To guarantee a race T-shirt, registration must be completed by Wednesday, November 11. A limited number of extra T-shirts will be available for purchase at packet pick-up.
Participants may bring nonperishable food items and new socks or stretchy knit gloves for donation to the Ridgefield Family Resource Center; each donated item earns a ticket for a chance to win $100 in local restaurant gift cards. Roads remain open during the event; vehicles have the right of way and participants may encounter brief waits for traffic. There is no official race timer, so participants may use personal watches if they want finish times recorded. All proceeds are shared between the Ridgefield Public Schools Foundation and the Ridgefield Family Resource Center. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
