Presents:

the 27th annual

Fresno Turkey Trot @ Woodward Park

 

For over a quarter of a century, the Fresno running community has come together on Thanksgiving morning to make a difference — supporting the hungry in our city through generous donations and race registrations. The Fresno Turkey Trot isn’t just a run; it’s a tradition of gratitude, generosity, and good times. This year, your participation not only benefits the Central California Food Bank, but also supports the Coach Ray Knight Youth and Scholarship Programs, helping student-athletes across the Central Valley pursue their academic and athletic dreams.

Kick off your Thanksgiving with purpose! Whether you run the chip-timed 5K or enjoy the untimed 2-Mile Walk, you’ll be part of a festive and meaningful morning. Every participant will receive a long-sleeve Thanksgiving shirt, a commemorative finisher’s medal, and a tasty post-race treat.

Registering your family? If you register 4 to 10 people, you’ll automatically receive 10% off. Register 10 or more, and you’ll save 20%! Simply select "Multi-Person Pricing" during registration.
