Louisville Turkey Trot 5K - Thanksgiving 2026
The Louisville Turkey Trot is a community 5K held on Thanksgiving morning, November 26, 2026, in Downtown Louisville, Colorado. The course starts at Front Street and Pine Street and finishes near South Street and Front Street, covering 5K (3.1 miles) through downtown.
The event raises funds and food for Community Food Share. Since 2013 the Trot has raised more than $350,000 and collected over 100,000 pounds of food; Community Food Share reports that every $1 donated provides $6 worth of groceries. The event has involved tens of thousands of participants across its history and attracts thousands of runners and walkers each year.
Event logistics are community-oriented and volunteer-supported. The event does not use bibs or chip timing. Strollers are welcome and children in strollers do not require separate registration. Pets are not allowed on the course, though service animals are permitted. Water is available before and after the race; there are no on-course water stations. Several nearby lots offer free parking. A post-race celebration includes complimentary coffee, hot cocoa, and alcoholic beverages for guests 21 and older with valid ID.
Entry pricing includes an early entry rate for adults and a reduced fee for children ages 0 to 14, with price increases as capacity milestones are reached. Day-of registration is available via an on-site QR code. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
