Westford Turkey Trot

The Westford Turkey Trot is an annual road race on beautiful country dirt roads.  This race dates back to the 90s and has historically raised money to support the children and families of Westford.  All proceeds continue to benefit this cause.  Your race fee will go towards supporting the Annual Westford Town Library Baby Tea, Scholarships, holiday baskets, and grocery gift cards for families in need. 

This year’s event will occur on Saturday, November 23rd at Westford Elementary School, 146 Brookside Road Westford, VT.  Pre-register for this event by October 1st to receive a FREE Event Shirt!
