Organiser's description
A NEW CHAPTER IN OUR LONGSTANDING THANKSGIVING TRADITION
In 2026, the Will Run for Pie 5K is joining forces with the Newburyport Maudslay Turkey Trot for one Thanksgiving morning race at Maudslay State Park.
Winners Circle Running Club is partnering with Joppa Flats Running Club to support this years event, which will remain under JFRCs leadership for 2026. Beginning in 2027, WCRC will become the steward of the Maudslay Turkey Trot, helping preserve one of the North Shores longest-running Thanksgiving traditions for future generations.
There will not be a separate Will Run for Pie race in Salisbury this year. We invite all of our runners, walkers, volunteers, and families to join us at Maudslay!
