Tardy Turkey Trot is a running race on November 27, 2026 in Estes Park, CO, with an entry fee of $45.
This year's turkey is running a little behind - catch this turkey taking a morning jog around Lake Estes the day after Thanksgiving!
The Tardy Turkey Trot is a brand-new, family- and stroller-friendly 4 mile run/walk fundraiser for the Estes Chamber of Commerce's Economic & Workforce Development Council. The council supports the economic health of the Estes Valley and helps sustain a high quality of life for residents and visitors.
Gather your flock and join us for a holiday run, with views that will leave you feeling extra thankful. Participants will receive a Tardy Turkey Trot beanie and a post-race breakfast burrito!
Free parking will be available at Lake Estes Marina, as well as a short walk away at the Estes Park Visitor Center.
