Runners and walkers come primarily from the neighborhoods that border the park, including Roxbury, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, and Mattapan, but all are welcome, including out-of-town family members! The Franklin Park Turkey Trot is the largest Thanksgiving Day race in the City of Boston. We look forward to welcoming the many individuals and families who have let us know this is their Thanksgiving tradition.

• All ages and paces welcome – there are always walking groups at the end of the pack.
• Strollers, wheelchairs, and race-ready leashed dogs are welcome
• Awards for fast finishers and costumes
• Event is chip timed
