Registration Now Open For Hingham Turkey Trot

Before the high school football game, the 5K Turkey Trot will be held Thanksgiving morning at Hingham High School.

Before some Hingham athletes stuff their tummies with turkey and pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving,  they will compete in a 5k Road Race.

The 14th annual  Turkey Trot road race is open to the public and will begin at 7:30 a.m. Thanksgiving morning, beginning at Hingham High School.

Last year, Hingham Physical Education teacher Luke Dodge was the winner, finishing with an impressive time of 15:59.
