Be Thankful, Donate Food!

The Tough Ten Mile Turkey Trot is our annual "food-raiser" race to held to re-stock the Marlborough Community Cupboard.

Location & Entry Fee

Parking is at Ghiloni Park, Marlborough MA and the race start is on the driveway near the softball fields.
The entry fee for this race is 15 non-perishable food items which will be donated to the Marlborough food pantry.

Course Description

This race takes place on the paved rural back roads of Marlborough and Hudson. The race starts off with rolling hills the first few miles leading into a steady downhill. Enjoy the flats as you cruise into miles 5-6. The real fun begins just before mile 8 as you head into the Hosmer St. hills. This section is a 1 mile climb before you descend into your last set of turns which brings you to one more hill before the finish. It's called the Tough 10 for a reason! Overall elevation gain is ~645' elevation. There will be 2 water stops near miles 4 and 8. The course is open to traffic and all runners are requested to stay on the left side of the road (running against traffic).
