## About

Gather the whole family on Thanksgiving morning in historic Concord, Massachusetts for the annual Concord Turkey Trot 5K. Originating on Keyes Road adjacent to Concord's historic town center and Minuteman National Historical Park trailheads, this scenic 3.1-mile loop winds through quiet colonial neighborhoods with flat, paved roadways ideal for competitive racers, weekend joggers, and stroller walkers alike.

All proceeds and hundreds of pounds of non-perishable food collected on race morning directly support Open Table, helping provide holiday groceries and hot meals to local families in need. Participants receive commemorative race shirts, and top age-group runners earn custom Thanksgiving medals. Kids are encouraged to run alongside parents or cheer from Keyes Road.
