Darien Depot Overstuffed Turkey Trot 5k and 1 Mile Fun Run

Join Us for Our Annual Turkey Day 5K & 1 Mile Walk/Run! 

After Thanksgiving, come burn off those extra calories with family and friends along the beautiful Darien High School cross-country trail! Last year's event featured over 600 runners, and we're expecting an even bigger crowd this year, including over 800 event attendees. Music and food are part of this tradition.  New this year, children can participate in the Gobble Games for an additional fee.  All proceeds benefit The Depot, Darien's Youth Center.
