Phoenix Turkey Trots 2026 — Thanksgiving Races

Thanksgiving morning is the biggest race day of the American year, and Phoenix shows up for it: 5 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 Alexander & Jay Lin's 5K Turkey Run on Thu, Nov 26, 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.
