Those of you planning to run the Thanksgiving Day 5K road race in Wellesley may have received email Monday alerting you that the race has been cancelled by the Wellesley Police Department. But to clarify, the Wellesley Turkey Trot is still taking place, registration is going strong and registration is also still open.
The email regarding the race cancellation refers to the Turkey5, a race that was held in Wellesley the past 2 Thanksgivings. Organizers of last year’s race had a dispute, resulting in a new race being held on Thanksgiving in Wellesley this year as well as a new charitable organization affiliation (The Fund for Wellesley).
