Participants can register at the Recreation Department office at 159 Pantigo Road in East Hampton or at the Montauk Playhouse from Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There is also an online signup at turkeyday.itsyourrace.com. On the day of the race, registrations will be taken at the Montauk Chamber of Commerce office downtown from 8 to 9:30 a.m. for $15. Runners can choose a three or six-mile loop around Fort Pond. Turkeys will be given to all the first-place winners.

In the summer of 2011, Alex Esposito and James Mirras addressed a specific need with Hamptons Free Ride, an electric shuttle service that ran in a fixed loop through East Hampton and from parking lots in town to Main Beach. Since then, a “hometown side project” has developed into Circuit, an all-electric, on-demand “micro-transit” solution in more than 40 cities and towns.
