Think “November” and visions of roast turkey undoubtedly come to mind. Epic Races invites you to envision — and experience — a totally different take on that famous fall bird with The Original Kroger A2 Turkey Trot. Join us at Hudson Mills Metropark for this annual autumn tradition and enjoy a late-season run that is fun for the whole family!

LET’S TALK TURKEY!

The Original Kroger A2 Turkey Trot features three different distances to whet your racing appetite: a 5K loop around scenic Hudson Mills, a 10K course comprised of two 5K loops, and a mile fun run for those who want just a taste of our Turkey Trot.

For those who prefer a more sizable portion, there’s our Iron Turkey option: run both the 5K and 10K, a total of 9.3 miles! If your feet love gobbling up the miles, then our Iron Turkey challenge is ideal for you! Don’t forget: the A2 Turkey Trot is walker-friendly!

But wait.. there's more! All kids 10 and under race FREE!

    🏃‍♀️ Event Info

    This registration is for the 5K Run portion only of the DefiPlate™ Hybrid Strength & Speed Competition.

    If you wish to compete in the full hybrid event (Deficit Deadlift + 5K Run), please register separately on Iron Podium:

    👉 Register for the Full Hybrid Competition on Iron Podium

    The 5K is a USATF-measured course that runs through the scenic Hudson Mills Metropark loop.

    All runners will receive official chip timing, individual results, and event placement recognition.

    ⚙️ Hybrid Competition Overview (for reference)

    The full hybrid event challenges athletes to perform two scored disciplines:

    Deficit Deadlift (using DefiPlate™ and a stiff bar)

    5K Run

    Competitors’ rankings are based on a combined 50/50 scoring system, rewarding both strength and endurance.

    (Example: a strong deadlifter can still win if they post a solid run time — balance is key.)

    Distance: USATF-certified 5,000 meters (Hudson Mills loop)

    Start: Mass start with chip timing

    Course Surface: Paved park path, scenic and flat
