Turkey Trots are on track for a record year!
Early data is showing Turkey Trots on RunSignup are expecting over 1 Million participants this year!
We expect over 500,000 CheckIns with our CheckIn app, and nearly 400,000 finisher results completed with RaceDay Scoring, with likely about 1 Million RealTime Finisher TXT and RaceJoy messages delivered. We expect our infrastructure to peak around 50,000 pageviews per minute.
Turkey Trots on RunSignup last year are ahead of pace, and nearly 100 new Turkey Trots are using RunSignup (over 900, up from 833 last year).
To put that into perspective, if you add up the Top 40 Races from 2023, the total is 1,005,092 participants. So Thanksgiving is like having all of the Top 40 (races like NYC Marathon, Chicago, Peachtree, Boston, Broad Street, Bolder Boulder, Bloomsday, Twin Cities, etc.) all on one day.
So, the equivalent of the Top 40 races in the US all happening on one day handled by our infrastructure with sub 100 milllisecond response times.
We can’t wait to meet the challenge again this year!
