Fitness Avenue Turkey Trot 5K is a running race on November 26, 2026 in Johnstown, CO, with entry fees from $20 to $40.
This is our 14th Annual Turkey Trot held on Thanksgiving morning, with the goal of paying it forward to local families in need during the holiday season. All race participants may nominate a family within the Johnstown and Milliken communities who will receive a gift card for the use of groceries to assist with their holiday meals. We invite the whole family to walk, jog, run or crawl through the 5K. We offer a 1K course for the smaller runners! We hope to see each of you this Thanksgiving morning at 8am (7:45am for the 1K), to help us pay it forward! T-Shirts are provided with each registration up through November 13, 2026. All registrations after this date will not receive a race shirt and will be charged the same race fee.
