2026 Turkey Day 5k

Race Information

Welcome to the annual Turkey Day 5k in Boise, Idaho’s favorite Thanksgiving Day tradition.

Turkey Day 5K is a whole family fun run designed to kick off your day with fun, energy, and community.

The event benefits both the Boise Rescue Mission and local Special Olympics teams. As Boise continues to grow, so does the need for the services these organizations provide. Just by showing up you are already helping us contribute to these great organizations – but you can do more: bring extra canned food, make a donation directly to these groups, or better yet, donate a few hours of your time volunteering with them and you’ll both be rewarded.

😄 Why We Like This Run
✅ Epic scenery
✅ The "Race-Cation" lifestyle
✅ Sustainable strides

Why settle for a finisher’s medal and a banana in a parking lot when you could run amongst the red rock canyons of Zion National Park, through the majestic landscapes bordering Glacier National Park, or in the shadow of Rocky Mountain National Park?

Vacation Races aren't just about the miles; they’re about the memories. Curate world-class running experiences in the most breathtaking destinations in the U.S. Whether you’re a seasoned ultra-runner or a first-time 5Ker, "race day" will be the centerpiece of your next great adventure.
