EChO Turkey Trot : 16th Annual
The EChO Turkey Trot is a community 5K run and walk held on Thanksgiving morning, November 26, 2026, at Evergreen Christian Outreach, 27888 Meadow Drive, Evergreen, CO 80439. The in-person 5K begins and ends in the EChO parking lot and follows a route through downtown Evergreen on Highway 74, around the lake, down the south staircase, and back through downtown to the finish. Participants are advised to take care if conditions are snowy or icy and to bring shoes with good traction or traction devices.
A virtual option runs November 23–26, 2026; virtual participants receive a race bib by email and may complete the distance on their own course or treadmill during that window. The event uses three staggered starting waves: pie competitors first, then runners, then walkers.
Event features include packet pickup on several days before the race and a t-shirt guarantee for registrations completed by November 1, 2026. Pets on a leash are permitted; strollers are not allowed because of stairs on the route. Prizes in the form of holiday pies are awarded by age group for male and female categories, and additional pies are given for best team, best human costume, and best dog costume. VIP and accessible parking options are available through the event's registration process. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
