Trudy Dunbar Memorial 5K Turkey Trot & 1 Mile Gobbler Trot

Trudy Dunbar Memorial 5K Turkey Trot & 1 Mile Gobbler Trot takes place in Tarrytown, New York, on November 22, 2026, hosted by the Village of Tarrytown Parks and Recreation Department. The morning opens with the 1-mile Kids Gobbler Trot at 9:30 AM, followed by the 5K Turkey Trot (3.1 miles) at 10:00 AM. Both are road events with a family-friendly schedule.

The staggered start times work well for parents: you can cheer the kids through their mile, then line up for your own 5K half an hour later. Whether you are chasing a personal best or just want a holiday-week run, 3.1 miles rewards a good warm-up and an honest but controlled first mile. If this is your first race, three or four weeks of easy running, three times a week, is enough to feel comfortable on the distance; more experienced runners can use it as a sharp effort before the winter training block.
