Crossroads Fitness Turkey Trot

The Crossroads Fitness Turkey Trot is an annual fun run and fundraiser now in its fifth decade. It is held in Helena at Crossroads Sports & Fitness, 1013 Dearborn Ave, and takes place on Thursday, November 26, 2026, on Thanksgiving morning. The event supports local charities and community groups.

Runners may choose from the following distances:

The courses are described as very flat and fast; some years traction is advisable. The event is untimed and presented as a fun run. After the run, bagels and fruit are served. A random drawing is held for turkeys and pies; winners must be present to collect prizes.

The entry fee is kept low at $10. Online registration is handled through RunSignUp and opens September 1.
