2026 Early Bird Turkey Trot 5K/10K/15K/Half Marathon

Race Information

Early Bird Turkey Trots are festive pre-Thanksgiving road races offering 5K, 10K, 15K, and Half Marathon distances from Five Star NTP. The course is built as a loop—so longer distances simply repeat laps—enabling spectators to see runners multiple times along the route. It’s known for being relatively flat and fast, making it a favorite for personal best efforts. Participants who’ve completed any of Five Star NTP’s races earlier in the year may qualify for a complimentary 5K entry. The event supports local causes.
