MERRIMACK, NH -- The Rotary Club of Merrimack is sponsoring the Turkey Trot 5K Road Race on Thursday, November 28, 2024 (Thanksgiving morning). Registration starts at 7:00AM and the race starts at 8:00AM.

Race starts at Merrimack Middle School, 31 Madeline Bennett Drive, Merrimack.

Please bring a canned good to the race for the local food banks. Race sponsorships are available.

Update: RunSignUp is helping us with the registration process this year. Also this year there will be chips in the bibs for accurate timing and this will speed up the process for the winners being announced after the race. These changes are all due to the past success of the event and that we have grown to the point that we cannot do things the way we have in the past. The Merrimack Rotary Club is very happy with the success of the event and we look forward to seeing families showing up on Thanksgiving Morning!

All proceeds will pay for Coats for Kids and other community services.
