Turkey Trot Trail 10K & 5K is a trail running, rucking, and running race on November 20, 2026 in Chesterfield, VA.
As autumn draws toward its quiet end and the forests stand in their bronze and fading gold, the First Responder Turkey Trot Trail 10K is swiftly approaching. It is set forth for those who bear the weight of duty to serve their community - firefighters and law enforcement officers - to gather together to test their physical and mental fortitude.
The trail winds through old woods and over steady rises, shaped by years and weather. The 5K offers a swift, purposeful course for those seeking a sharp test of strength. The 10K carries runners deeper into the terrain, demanding endurance, discipline, and resolve.
Here, in the clear air of late fall, first responders take to the path to measure themselves, strengthen their bodies, and stand alongside others who know the demands of service. Each mile is a quiet testament to your resilience.
