Turkey Day 5K FUN Run/Walk
The Parker Parks and Recreation Turkey Day 5K FUN Run/Walk takes place on November 26, 2026 at the Parker Recreation Center in Parker, Colorado. The entry fee for the standard 5K is $38; registration fees increase on November 12 and again on November 26, and event-day registration is available for an additional $5 if space remains. Space for the event is limited.
This community event is part of the Parks and Recreation Run Series and is presented with RNK Running & Walking. The run/walk is family-friendly and described as a laid-back trot with friends and neighbors. The event is not officially timed. Registrants receive a commemorative shirt, with November 1 as the cutoff to guarantee shirt size; the first 500 registrants who opt in may receive a commemorative finisher medal. Participants also receive a souvenir race bib and access to hot cocoa, cider, or coffee. Previous-year commemorative items such as socks, a scarf, a beanie, and gloves are available for purchase as add-ons.
The course is a loop beginning and ending at the Recreation Center, using Recreation Drive, Jordan Road, the E-470 Trail, and the Cherry Creek Regional Trail. The event is held in all weather and refunds are not issued. Strollers are welcome; dogs, bikes, and scooters are not permitted for safety reasons. Parking is limited.
