The Shoreline Turkey Trot 5K is a road race held on November 26, 2026 at the Savin Rock Conference Center (on the beach side), 6 Rock St., West Haven, CT 06516. The event features a 5K course that runs flat along the beach on the Savin Rock Boardwalk with coastal breezes and views of the rising sun. The boardwalk course separates runners from vehicular traffic.

The event organizes a food drive for WHEAT, a local food pantry that serves low-income residents and currently distributes food to 5,000 households, including 1,000 school-aged children. Registration fees are non-refundable and are used toward race expenses. On race day payments accepted include cash, checks made out to "cash", and Venmo to the listed account; credit cards are not accepted at the venue. Bib pickup is available starting one hour before the event and a self-lookup area is provided for runners who do not know their bib number.
