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. Participants may be asked to provide a negative coronavirus (COVID-19) PCR test result and/or proof of a complete vaccination prior to this year’s 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?

We will be adhering to all local and state safety guidelines during the 2021 Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot. At this time, we do anticipate there will be a mask requirement, but we will provide full safety guidelines in the weeks and days before November 25.

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

We will be adhering to all local and state safety guidelines during the 2021 Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot. We understand that guidelines may change between now and Thanksgiving day, so we will be waiting to provide specific guidelines for the Turkey Trot until closer to November 25.
