From the Organizer
For over a quarter of a century, the Fresno running community has come together on Thanksgiving morning to make a difference—supporting those in need throughout our community 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 helps support the Fresno Mission as they provide meals, shelter, recovery programs, and life-changing services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Proceeds also benefit 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.
