Pathfinder Early Learning Center Turkey Trot and Waddle
The Pathfinder Turkey Trot & Family Waddle takes place on Thanksgiving morning in Huntington, Indiana, with the course beginning and ending at Pathfinder's Administrative Offices at 2824 Theater Ave. The on-course route passes around Pehkokia Woods and past the Izaak Walton League.
Event distances include:
- 5K (chip-timed)
- 1 Mile Family Waddle
- 5K Virtual option
- 5K Youth untimed option for ages 4–12
The chip-timed Turkey Trot 5K is open to runners and walkers. The Family Waddle is a one-mile walk intended for children, grandparents, strollers, and participants seeking a shorter, family-friendly route.
The Youth Turkey Trot is an untimed, lower-cost option for ages 4–12; youth participants may join the 5K or the Waddle and receive an official Turkey Trot shirt plus a post-race snack and drink. Youth entries in this option do not include a race bib.
The virtual Turkey Trot Anywhere option includes a shirt; registrations completed by November 10 guarantee shirt delivery before Thanksgiving. Registrations after that date will have shirts mailed after the event.
An additional "Shirt Only" option offers extra 2026 Turkey Trot shirts for $15 each. These shirts celebrate Pathfinder’s 60th birthday with student-designed artwork, are limited in quantity and size, and are available for pickup with participant materials; shipping is not available.
Every registration helps support children, families, and educational programming at Pathfinder's Early Learning Center. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
