Southbury Turkey Trot 5K
The Southbury Turkey Trot is an annual community running event organized by the Southbury Women's Club. The event benefits three local nonprofit programs: the Southbury Food Bank, Southbury Fuel Bank and Southbury Helping Hands. The 2026 edition is noted as the 16th annual race and takes place on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026.
Distances
- 5K Turkey Trot : a USATF certified out-and-back course on Main Street South.
- Kid's Fun Run : a short, separate run that begins near the entrance to Maxx365 Fitness and Recovery.
Race operations and facilities are described as follows: participants are asked to line up according to race pace for safety; dogs are not permitted on the course; water is provided at the finish area though runners may bring their own bottles for use during the run. Restroom facilities will be available on Main Street at the start area and in the Maxx365 parking lot. The Maxx365 parking lot will be closed on the morning of the event, so attendees should plan for alternative parking.
Packet pick-up is scheduled on days immediately before the race at Maxx365 Fitness and Recovery; participants who registered by November 1 will receive a race shirt. Children2Children will collect gently used children's clothing and shoes at packet pick-up locations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
