The Newtown Turkey Trot is a benefit for the C.H. Booth Library.

From the Newtown Turkey Trot:

The course starts at Hawley School and ends at the Newtown Middle School, a short distance away with ample downtown parking in between. We are pleased to present a course that includes scenic downtown Newtown, including almost a mile of historic Main Street. See the course map for a more complete description.

The Newtown Turkey Trot is proud to be part of the Newtown Road Race Series, including the Rooster Run in June, and the Newtown Road Race in September. Runners in multiple divisions with the lowest combined time in all three races will receive special recognition.

As with 2013, for this year’s race the number of runners and walkers will be capped. Tee-shirts will be provided to every entrant. Sizes are limited so please sign up early.

Also, early package pickup will be available for all pre-registered participants at the Booth Library on Tuesday November 25th (estimated 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM) and Wednesday November 26th (estimated 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM). No pre-registration applications will be accepted at the library.

In order to provide a smooth start and even flow over the course, we will use starting corrals again this year. Runners will be asked to place themselves in the corral that is closest to or later than their expected pace.

Walkers will start at the back of the runners queue.

THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS OF REGISTRATION FEES OR PROCESSING EXPENSES.
