Thanksgiving is all about spending time with family, giving thanks for everything you have, and—let’s be real—chowing down on a massive meal. We’re talking mashed potatoes, gravy, turkey, pumpkin pie—the full works. But for many around the country, Thanksgiving is also synonymous with another ritual: the annual turkey trot.
These fun runs pop up all around the country this time of year, and they can range in length from one-milers to 5Ks to full marathons. They’re a great way to squeeze in a workout before your big day of eating (and napping) commences.
Turkey trots are crazy-popular, too. According to 2015 data from Running USA, 901,753 people completed turkey trots that year—an all-time record. Only 684,334 people finished turkey trots around the country when they first started tracking back in 2011, but the numbers have increased every year. The races vary significantly in size based on where you are, too—in 2015, seven turkey trots around the U.S. had more than 10,000 finishers, according to Running USA.
Whether you’re looking for a race that is just a few hundred people, or a full-blown ordeal, there’s probably a local turkey trot near you. But since we know you’re busy, we scoured the country to find some turkey trot races in each state. (Yep, we mapped out races in all 50 states!) We included start times, registration costs, and even a link for you to sign up—so don’t procrastinate! If you live in Anchorage, Alaska, Illinois, Hawaii, or anywhere in between, here’s what’s happening near you:
