Make Thanksgiving Legendary – RGS Turkey Run 2026
Skip the crowds, dodge the shopping madness, and spend Thanksgiving weekend the way it was meant to be spent—on the trail. The RGS Turkey Run 2026 is a one-day guided off-road adventure through Southern Vermont’s rugged backcountry, built for drivers who want mud on the tires, fresh mountain air, and a full dose of late-season trail fun.
This annual favorite delivers everything you want from a Vermont trail ride without the commitment of a multi-day expedition. Expect challenging but approachable terrain, dynamic fall conditions, and the camaraderie that comes from earning your miles together. Whether you’re a first-timer looking to build confidence or a seasoned RGS regular chasing one last ride before winter, the Turkey Run hits the mark.
What to Expect
• Green & Blue Trails
A carefully selected mix of accessible routes and moderate challenges that keep the day engaging without being overwhelming. Perfect for stock and lightly modified vehicles.
• Southern Vermont Backcountry
Travel Class VI roads and lesser-known trail corridors that showcase the raw, rugged beauty of the Green Mountains in late fall.
• All-Weather Adventure
Mud, water crossings, cold air, and the real possibility of snow make this ride unpredictable—in the best way possible. Every year brings different conditions and new stories.
• Professional RGS Guiding
Ridgeback Guide Service leads the convoy, manages obstacles, and provides real-time coaching so you can focus on driving, learning, and enjoying the day.
Why This Run Is a Thanksgiving Tradition
✔ One-day commitment, maximum trail time
✔ Purpose-built routes you won’t find on your own
✔ Late-season conditions you won’t get anywhere else
✔ Guided, safe, and great camaraderie
Group size is limited to keep the pace steady, the convoy tight, and the experience enjoyable for everyone.
Seats are limited. If you’d rather earn your turkey than carve it, this is your run.
