Holliston Turkey Trot

Lace up your sneakers and kick off your Thanksgiving festivities with the Holliston Turkey Trot, a cherished community tradition returning on Thursday, November 26, 2026. This festive 5K road race invites runners, walkers, strollers, and even leashed dogs to gather at Holliston High School, located at 370 Hollis Street in Holliston, MA, for an energetic morning dedicated to local youth.

The chip-timed 5K course offers a tour through Holliston's local streets, starting from the high school parking lot and winding through sections of Hollis, Highland, Prentice, Mill, North Mill, Hargrave, and Bonney before returning to the start/finish line. While specific elevation details are not provided, runners can anticipate a classic New England road race experience. Typical race day conditions for late November in Holliston usually see highs around 48F and lows near 31F, with about an 18% chance of precipitation, creating a crisp and invigorating atmosphere perfect for a holiday trot. Aid station support, including a water stop, will be available on the course to keep participants hydrated.

What truly sets the Holliston Turkey Trot apart is its heartwarming mission: all proceeds directly benefit the Holliston Youth Lacrosse Association, helping to foster local athletic development. Beyond supporting a great cause, top finishers will be rewarded with gift cards to Marathon Sports and delicious pies from Outpost Farm, a tradition extended to age group winners as well. Join fellow community members for this vibrant Thanksgiving tradition, celebrating fitness, family, and local spirit before indulging in your holiday feast.
