Sunny scenes from the Wellesley Turkey Trot

November 27, 2025 by Bob Brown

Thousands turned out on a relatively toasty Thanksgiving morning for the annual Wellesley Turkey Trot.

Participants went all out running and walking and donning the latest in turkey regalia.

Natick’s Sean Fleming finished first with a sub-5-minute-per-mile over the 5k course, which starts and ends in Linden Square, and traverses Wellesley Square and the Wellesley College campus in between. Marian Johnson of Weston was the first female finisher at a 5:41 pace. Kids had a blast running the shorter Hannah Randolph Fun Run course.

Congrats to Kate Maul & team on another great community event, which raises thousands for local community groups.

(Thank you to super photographers Sean Milano, Kathleen Woodward, Rob Major & Sean Haggerty for these shots.)
