Bedford Turkey Trot
November 30, 2019 @ 9:00 am
Bedford Turkey Trot: Billed as “the hardest 5K in New York”, the Turkey Trot raises funds for Bedford Community Table. The course begins on Court Road at the Bedford Village Memorial Park. The halfway point is at the top of Indian Hill Road – not for the faint of heart – and finishes at Bedford Village Memorial Park. There is also a 2-mile walk. Pre-registration required.
The Bedford Turkey Trot was founded in 2005. It takes place in Bedford, NY the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Founded at a dinner party, the race was started in 2005 when Jen and Rob (C) had the brilliant idea to have a community race. They knew many locals had visitors during Thanksgiving. So they decided hold the Turkey Trot the Saturday after. After a couple conversations with Rob (B), they made a passionate appeal to the town board. Soon, they were off and running…
Now 14 years old, it is an annual family tradition. Each year nearly 500 runners from far and wide gather together to brave Indian Hill and the often cold weather. They all agree it makes for an exciting morning the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
check in and parking are at Bedford Village Memorial Park.
Race check-in takes place at Bedford Village Memorial Park. Check-in opens at the Park at 7:00 AM. There are shuttle buses from the Park to the start at Bedford Village Elementary School. The last bus to the start leaves at 8:40am!
