Event info


Race Logistics
The event is held every Thanksgiving morning. Onondaga Lake Park near Griffins visitor center. Under the lights on the lake. This year’s takes place Thursday, November 26th. The starting gun goes off at 9:00 am SHARP!

​The Liverpool Turkey Trot will utilizes a wave start, creating a more efficient and enjoyable running and walking experience for participants. Soon after the Bag Pipes play we start at 9am.
A wave start breaks up the start line for participants into five separate groups
  1. 5 to 6 min mile running pace. 
  2. 7 to 8 min mile pace runners. 
  3. 9 to 10 min mile pace runners.
  4. 11-12 min mile pace runners.
  5. 13 min & above mile runners and walkers. 
With five corresponding starts we will have a 30 sec to 1min wait. Each group will consist of five to corrals with a participant's placement determined by their run/race-walk/walk status and their estimated mile pace time. Signs will be on each side of line to help assist your location. As in previous years, the LTT will utilize the Chrono track bib timing device. This means that a participant’s time does not begin until they cross the timing mats at the start line, so the wave start will not impact your overall time. 
Benefits of a wave start (mile pace) include:
  • A more enjoyable experience for participants including less congestion from start to finish
  • Reduction in density of participants at the start line, finish line and throughout the course, allowing for easier access for safety as well as LTT race officials
  • More participants will be able to experience the “start” of the LTT
