The Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving Day Tradition for many families and one of the largest events in Northern Colorado. It's the perfect way to spend time with family and friends, promote cardiovascular and pulmonary health awareness and work off those pre-holiday treats!

Strollers and wagons are permitted on the race course, if they are managed by an adult, we just ask that you start behind our more competitive runners. 

We ask that all other wheeled items such as rollerblades, bikes, skates or scooters be left at home due to the increased safety risk to oneself and other participants. 

Due to limited space and many families with young children we kindly ask that you leave your furry friends at home.
