Pembroke Police Boys and Girls Club 5K Turkey Trot

Pembroke Police Boys and Girls Club 5K Turkey Trot is held in Pembroke, Massachusetts, on November 22, 2026. The event is a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 8:00 AM, the Sunday before Thanksgiving.

Turkey trots are the classic way to share a run with family before the holiday, and this 5K fits that role: walk it, jog it or race it. Beginners can get ready with three to six weeks of run/walk sessions; experienced runners can treat it as a fast effort at the end of the fall season, with a couple of short interval workouts in the weeks before. Dress for an early-morning start in late November, warm up well before the gun, and keep an even pace so you finish the 3.1 miles feeling strong.
