Mesa Turkey Trot 5K - 10K
The Mesa Turkey Trot is presented as Arizona's original Thanksgiving Day community race and marks its 58th annual event in Mesa, Arizona. It takes place at Red Mountain Park and uses paved roads around the park, with the course finishing in the park parking lot. Race proceeds benefit the Mesa Sertoma Club, a local chapter of Sertoma focused on community service and outreach.
The event offers multiple participation options:
- 10K : chip timed road race around Red Mountain Park
- 5K : chip timed road race around Red Mountain Park
- 1 Mile Family Fun Run : untimed family run, medal and shirt provided
- Virtual Run : US addresses only, items shipped after the event
Participants receive a custom finisher's medal and a custom tech t-shirt (option to skip the shirt for a reduced fee). Male and female age-group awards are given to the top three finishers in the 10K and 5K for specified age groups. The event includes pre- and post-race refreshments, real-time results and photos through the timing provider, and managed packet pick-up options including a drive-thru the day before the race. The event is stroller and wheelchair friendly if participants start at the back of the pack. Bicycles, wagons, and scooters are not allowed on course. The event is managed by StartLine Racing.
