ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Turkey, stuffing, watching football, and time with family may be part of your traditions, but some people have also made running part of their traditions. Here’s your guide to races happening in the Rochester area on Thanksgiving Day.
Webster Turkey Trot
A Webster tradition, the 54th annual Turkey Trot, is returning. The 2.5-mile race and 4.4-mile race will both start at 10 a.m. at the Parkview Lodge of Webster Park. There’s also a virtual race option.
You can register for the race and learn where to pick up your packet here. Participants will be able to take a shuttle bus to the course and all finishers will get a medal.
The race was started by English teacher and cross-country coach Jim May as a practice run for his team but it has since grown to draw thousands of runners each year. Last year, around 3,000 people took part.
