Dover Turkey Trot
About the race
The Dover Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving day 5k race in Dover, NH designed to be a fun event for runners, walkers, families and people of all ages and abilities.
For 13 years, our mission has been to promote a healthy lifestyle and provide a sense of community while raising money for the Garrison School PTA. Our race serves as the single largest fundraiser for the PTA annually and has been able to fund countless needs within Garrison Elementary School over the years!
Over the years the Turkey Trot has become a beloved Thanksgiving day tradition for families locally. Participants often wear their favorite turkey-themed outfits on Thanksgiving morning before they feast.
