Sacramento Turkey Trots 2026 — Thanksgiving Races

Thanksgiving morning is the biggest race day of the American year, and Sacramento shows up for it: 7 turkey trots and Thanksgiving-week races are already on the 2026 calendar.

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.
