Newtown Virtual Turkey Trot

Virtual Race Results Upload

After completing your run, you may upload you time via the RESULTS PAGE. Results submission may be completed from Thursday November 26 until midday on Monday November 30, 2020.

The results page will also provide the means to upload any photographs taken during your run, that you wish to share. We hope as many people as possible to submit images so that even though were not able to share the moment together, we can do so virtually.
