## About

South Shore families start Thanksgiving Day bright and early at the beloved Hingham Turkey Trot 5K. Centered at Hingham High School on Union Street, the race draws over 2,000 South Shore runners and families for an invigorating autumn loop through coastal Hingham neighborhoods.

Organized to benefit the high school's cross-country and track programs, the event welcomes runners, power-walkers, and families with running strollers (strollers start behind the main pack for safety). Early finish times ensure everyone gets back home with plenty of time to baste the turkey and watch the parade. Commemorative long-sleeve tech t-shirts are provided to pre-registered runners, and awards are presented across multiple youth and adult age brackets.
