Turkey Day 5K & Fun Run - Glenwood Springs
The Turkey Day 5K and 2K Fun Run take place on 11/26/2026 at Veltus Park in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The event features two distances:
- 5K race
- 2K fun run
Both courses are new for 2026 and follow the Roaring Fork River with segments on the Rio Grande Trail and the Midland Avenue path, offering views of Mount Sopris. The 5K is a timed race with podium awards in age divisions: masters (40+), adult (20–39), youth (15–19), junior (11–14), and kids (10 and under). All 2K finishers receive a finish-line award. Children 5 and under are free.
Online registration fees listed for this event are $25 for the 5K (ages 6+) and $15 for the 2K (ages 6+); in-person race day registration fees are higher. A commemorative race t-shirt is optional for $15; ordering by November 15 is recommended to guarantee sizes, and race day inventory is limited. Finish-line refreshments include pie and cider, and podium prizes for 5K winners include homemade pies.
Parking at Veltus Park is limited; designated public parking is available on 7th Street, at the Defiance Fitness lot east of the 8th Street bridge, and overflow parking at Glenwood Springs Elementary School. Net proceeds benefit Roaring Fork Phoenix Youth and the Glenwood Springs Elementary School PTA. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
