2025 Turkey Trot

Edson's 2025 Turkey Trot runs October 6th to 14th. Gather your flock & strut your tail feathers through the 5 KM turkey-shaped route this fall for the chance to win one of three prize packs that'll make you gobble with gratitude! Run, bike, walk, or wobble - just don't ruffle your feathers.

To enter, take a picture with Butterball the turkey, who you will find on the route, and share it with us on Facebook (find the official tracking post on Town of Edson Programs & Events) or Instagram (tag us @townofedson). Not on social media? Email your photo to NicoleT@edson.ca

*One entry per photo, the name of the person submitting the photo will be entered.

Click HERE for a map of the route! There will be signs and arrows to guide the way through this almost 5km trek. Note that due to construction along 10th Ave, the route is a little shorter this year.
