Starting adjacent to Hope High School, runners embark along scenic Blackstone Boulevard, an iconic tree-lined parkway framed by historic New England stone walls and grand turn-of-the-century estates. Young children kick off the festivities in the spirited Youth Trot, dashing along a dedicated finish chute surrounded by cheering parents and turkey mascots before receiving commemorative finisher medals. The 5K course features a fast, flat double-loop with enthusiastic volunteer water stations, neighborhood cowbell cheer squads, and festive holiday music echoing through the autumn trees. The morning fosters community spirit while collecting canned food items for the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Fully paved, smooth asphalt streets and wide crushed-gravel boulevard paths comfortably accommodate single and double jogging strollers. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Warm indoor restrooms and staging areas are open inside Hope High School gymnasium, along with portable comfort facilities along Blackstone Boulevard. • Age Suitability: Welcoming for all ages; the Youth Trot specifically welcomes children ages 2 to 10, while all ages can walk or run the 5K. • Sensory Tips: Start line music, megaphone race countdowns, and cheering spectators create a vibrant atmosphere; peaceful quiet spots are easily found 50 yards down the boulevard grass. ## Similar picks in Providence - [Warwick Rotary Turkey Trot 5K & Family Fun Walk](https://grassyknees.com/providence/activities/warwick-rotary-turkey-trot-5k-and-family-fun-walk--listing-288cdab3d51b740787eb012c) — Thu, Nov 26 · 8:00 AM – 11:00 AM · Warwick City Park · All ages · From $25 · checked Nov 5.
