Now in its 19th 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, proceeds will go toward supporting the Recreation Department's mission to enhance community facilities, with funds evenly distributed among 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 26 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm at the Harbor House Livery.
Racers who registered by or before November 2 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 be holding a Pie Sale during Pre-Registration! Each pie will be $15, or two pies for $25, and it’s a great way to support the SPTO—and skip the baking this season!
If you’d like to donate a pie, please drop off at the Livery in Sunapee Harbor between 3pm - 5pm on November 26. Please be sure to label your pie if it contains nuts, so we can be mindful of allergies. For any questions, please contact Allysse Coffee or Nicole Cassidy. Thank you for your support!
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 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 friends and 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.
