Come join your friends and neighbors this year, and run or walk the jewel of the Emerald Necklace to start your Thanksgiving Day! Bring everyone and make it a family event. With runners and walkers coming primarily from the neighborhoods that border the park, including Roxbury, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, and Mattapan, the Turkey Trot is the largest Thanksgiving Day race in the City of Boston. We look forward to welcoming back the many families who have let us know this is their Thanksgiving tradition.
