From the Organizer
Now in its 5th decade, the annual Helena Turkey Trot is a fun run / fundraiser to celebrate the holiday and support local charities. Join us Thanksgiving morning at Crossroads Sports & Fitness (1013 Dearborn Ave, 406-442-6733) to help support groups like Helena Food Share (2017 & before), Shodair Children's Hospital (2018-19), Girls Thrive (2022), Impact Montana (2023), and Helena Vigilante Runners / Helena Novas Youth XC/TF (2024-26)!
The 2026 race will take place Thursday, November 26 at 10:00 am. Runners have a choice of 1k (one small clockwise loop), 5k (one big clockwise loop), or 10k (two big clockwise loops). The courses are all very flat and fast, although some years traction is advisable. Note that this is an un-timed fun run event.
After the race bagels and fruit will be served. Random drawing for turkeys and pies! DRAWING AT 11:00am. Must be present to win.
