Event summary
Get ready for an exciting day of community spirit and outdoor fun at the Tough 10 & Fast 5 Turkey Trot! Taking place on Sunday, November 30, 2025, at the scenic Ghiloni Park in Marlborough, Middlesex, this event is a cherished tradition that has been bringing runners together for over 20 years. Participants can choose between two exhilarating distances: a challenging 10-mile race or a more accessible 5-mile course, both winding through the beautiful hills of Marlborough and Hudson.
What makes this event even more special is its commitment to giving back. There's no entry fee—just bring 15 canned or non-perishable goods to benefit the Marlborough Community Cupboard and Hudson Food Pantry. With cheerful course marshals, photographers capturing the action, and post-race refreshments, it's a celebration of health, community, and goodwill. Plus, awards will be given for the top finishers, the largest team, and there will be exciting prizes from local businesses. So lace up your running shoes, gather your friends and family, and join us at 9:00 am for a fun-filled day that supports a great cause!
