Can I bring a stroller?
Yes, of course! Bring the entire family while you’re at it. We ask that strollers stay towards the back of the pack for the safety of your family and our runners.
Will a negative COVID-19 test or vaccination be required?
We will be adhering to all local and state safety guidelines during the 2021 Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot.

We will provide specific health and safety guidelines in the weeks and days prior to November 25.
Will masks be required for attendees?

Will Turkey Trot participants be required to adhere to specific COVID-19 guidelines?
