Steamboat Springs Turkey Trot
The Steamboat Springs Turkey Trot is a community 5K held on November 26, 2026, that benefits the Steamboat Springs High School Track & Field and Cross Country programs. The out-and-back course starts and ends at Steamboat Springs High School and travels to Strawberry Park and back. Participants are encouraged to wear cold weather running gear or a Thanksgiving costume.
The event welcomes runners, walkers, competitive adaptive athletes, strollers, burly trailers, and leashed dogs on the course. Wheelchair access is available to all facilities used for the race. Dogs are not allowed inside the high school building and should be left outside when picking up race bibs. Roads on the course remain open to traffic, so participants are asked to follow pedestrian guidelines and stay on the left shoulder toward the turnaround and on the left side on the return. Police and rolling support will be present at key intersections.
Pre registration and day of registration are offered with age based pricing. Early online registrants among youth (11-17) and adults (18+) may receive an OUTWAY Performance Sock while supplies last. Packet pick-up is available the day before and on race morning. Parking is available in the main high school lot and restrooms are provided in the school commons and at the athletic entrance.
The event accepts non perishable food donations for Lift Up Food Bank and donations for Ukraine relief to support humanitarian and medical supplies. Awards include top finishers by age and category plus costume and youth ribbons, with a raffle drawing after awards. Local businesses and timing professionals support the event.
