The Dover Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving day 5k race in Dover, NH designed to be a fun event for runners, walkers, families and people of all ages and abilities. For 10 years, our mission has been to promote a healthy lifestyle and provide a sense of community while raising money for the Garrison School PTA. The Garrison School PTA provides money for student enrichment activities, family and community events, classroom supplies, artist in residency programs, and anything else that may fall outside of the school district’s budget. Our race serves as the single largest fundraiser for the PTA annually and has been able to fund countless needs within Garrison Elementary School over the years! The Turkey Trot also serves as the final race of the Dover Race Series.
Over the years the Turkey Trot has become a beloved Thanksgiving day tradition for families locally. Come join us bright and early Thanksgiving morning with your favorite turkey-themed outfits to have some fun before you feast!
