The Shippensburg Turkey Trot is a community festival event on Thursday, November 26, 2026, that benefits the Cumberland Valley Rail Trail and Shippensburg Produce Outreach. It is part of the Cumberland Valley Race Series and includes a timed 5 kilometer road race and a timed walk.
The certified 5 kilometer out-and-back course starts in Shippensburg Memorial Park behind the football stadium. The route passes between the Middle School and the High School, goes behind the High School, enters the Volvo parking lot, and returns to finish in the park.
