Las Vegas Turkey Trot - Gilcrease Ranch
This event is the second annual 5K held on Thanksgiving morning, November 26, 2026, at Arbor View High School. The community-run race follows a marked route and is described as a low budget event organized by local volunteers.
The course covers 3.1 miles (5K) with views of Gilcrease Orchard and nearby snowy mountains. The route is relatively flat and will be marked with orange flags and yellow arrows at turning points.
Logistics and amenities include a cash only entry fee of $15 with all funds applied to the race and supplies, and free admission for spectators. Eligible racers are ages 7 and up. The first 100 registrants receive a bib, a commemorative pin, water and a banana, and a long sleeve race T-shirt while supplies last. A costume contest awards a $20 gift card for the best Turkey or Thanksgiving themed outfit. There are separate heats identified by band color: running (green), jogging (pink), and walking (red).
Participants are asked to follow traffic signs and signals and to accept that they take part at their own risk. Vendor opportunities are available, and organizers are seeking pie and honey sellers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
