From the Organizer
This year's turkey is running a little behind - it's headed to Estes Park right on time to lead the annual Catch the Glow Parade. Chase the turkey through downtown Estes Park before finishing at the Estes Park Event Center, where you can watch the parade floats pass by one final time.
The Tardy Turkey Trot is a brand-new, family and stroller-friendly 5K. Gather your flock and join us for a holiday run before the parade. Participants will receive a Tardy Turkey Trot beanie, wearable lights and post-race food.
Downtown parking is expected to fill quickly, but free seasonal shuttles will run throughout the day. We recommend parking at the Estes Park Event Center and taking a shuttle to the start line so you finish near your car.
