FAQ About Turkey Trot

Directional Signs: Large signs with arrows and directional indicators are often placed at key points along the route to guide participants. These signs may include distance markers and important turns.

Colored Markings or Flags: Some Turkey Trots use colored markings on the ground or flags tied to existing structures (such as trees or poles) to indicate the correct route. Different colors may be used for different distances.

Course Marshals: Volunteers or race officials, known as course marshals, may be stationed at critical points along the route to provide guidance, answer questions, and ensure participants follow the correct course.

Cones or Barriers: In areas where the route may need clarification, organizers may use cones or barriers to direct participants and prevent them from straying off course.

Chalk or Spray Paint: Temporary markings on the pavement, sidewalks, or roads may be used to indicate turns or changes in direction.

Distance Markers: Signs indicating the distance covered or remaining are often placed at regular intervals to help participants gauge their progress.

Digital Mapping Apps: Some events provide participants with access to digital mapping apps or GPS technology to help them navigate the course. This can be especially common in virtual or self-directed Turkey Trots.
