Now in its 18th year, the Lake Sunapee Turkey Trot has become a wonderful family tradition for more than 800 racers. Grab your family and friends, throw on a costume (optional, but really fun and highly encouraged), work off some calories, and make this great event a part of your Thanksgiving tradition!
This year, funds will be allocated to support the Recreation Participant Scholarships and to improve facilities at Dewey Field, Veterans Field, and Tilton Park.
RACE REGISTRATION
PICKING UP RACE BIBS AND T SHIRTS
Bibs and pins can be picked up at Pre-Registration on Wednesday, November 27 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm at the Harbor House Livery.
Racers who registered by or before November 3 can also pick up race T shirts at this time. A limited number of T shirts will be for sale for $15 each.
SPTO PIE SALE!
The Sunapee Parent Teacher Organization will hold a pie sale during the Pre-Registration as well as on race day. Pies will be $10 each, and it is a great way to support the SPTO as well as get out having to bake!
If you would like to donate a pie to the sale, please drop it off as of 4:00 pm on November 27 at a location to be determined. Please indicate if your pie has nuts so we can be careful of allergies. Thank you!
BRING YOUR OWN BOTTLE
In an effort to reduce waste, we will be setting up water stations at the start and finish lines. Please bring your own reusable bottle, and fill up whenever you’re thirsty. Thank you Prospect Hill Antiques!
PARKING
Limited parking is available at the Sunapee Post Office, Sunapee Town Office, Lake Sunapee Protective Association, Garnet Hill Road, Sunapee Sherburne Gym, and the parking lot adjacent to the start line. We recommend carpooling with family where possible.

DOG POLICY
We love dogs, and they need their exercise, too. However dogs do present an element of risk that we cannot bear, so it is necessary to leave your furry friends at home for this event.
