    Think “November” and visions of roast turkey undoubtedly come to mind. Epic Races invites you to envision — and experience — a totally different take on that famous fall bird with The Original Kroger A2 Turkey Trot. Join us at Hudson Mills Metropark for this annual autumn tradition and enjoy a late-season run that is fun for the whole family!

    LET’S TALK TURKEY!
    The Original Kroger A2 Turkey Trot features three different distances to whet your racing appetite: a 5K loop around scenic Hudson Mills, a 10K course comprised of two 5K loops, and a mile fun run for those who want just a taste of our Turkey Trot.

    For those who prefer a more sizable portion, there’s our Iron Turkey option: run both the 5K and 10K, a total of 9.3 miles! If your feet love gobbling up the miles, then our Iron Turkey challenge is ideal for you! Don’t forget: the A2 Turkey Trot is walker-friendly!

    But wait.. there's more! All kids 10 and under race FREE!
