From the Organizer

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.
