Minneapolis–St. Paul Turkey Trots 2026 — Thanksgiving Races

Thanksgiving morning is the biggest race day of the American year, and Minneapolis–St. Paul shows up for it: 7 turkey trots and Thanksgiving-week races are already on the 2026 calendar. Run first, feast second — most trots finish before the parade starts. The next one up is Turkey Trails- St. Paul on Sat, Nov 7, 2026. Every listing links straight to registration.

Race-day tip

Turkey trots sell out earlier than any other 5K distance race — the family-wave entries go first. If you're bringing a crew, register everyone the same week you decide.

Don't miss Thanksgiving registration.
