About the Race 

The Killington Turkey Trot is an annual 5k race held on Thanksgiving morning in Killington, VT. The race is it its 15th year, and funds raised are directed and utilized by local charitable organizations. A new beneficiary is named each year, and all net proceeds go directly to the organization. The race was started in 2011 by Kasie and Jamie Munson following Tropical Storm Irene which left many locals in the area stranded. It has grown into an entire family affair, and we look forward to welcoming the participants into our family and hopefully kicking off a new Thanksgiving Day Tradition!
