The annual race that brings thousands to downtown Troy every Thanksgiving will go virtual for 2020 due to Covid 19 concerns. Organizers of the Troy Turkey Trot released a statement on Tuesday morning.
After reviewing a number of in-person scenarios with the City of Troy that were consistent with state guidelines, we reached a decision that it’s not possible to safely bring together thousands of Trotters to Troy this Thanksgiving
The race will still take place at 10am on Thanksgiving morning in real time using a new app to track the runners. Registration is open now at TroyTurkeyTrot.com.
