Turkey Trot Franklin Benefiting GraceWorks
The Turkey Trot Franklin is a Thanksgiving morning race event in Franklin, Tennessee, held on November 26, 2026. The event benefits GraceWorks and directs registration fees and fundraising toward local food, shelter, and support services for neighbors in need. The event is in its 27th year and includes running and walking options through the Cool Springs area, with participant corrals organized by expected finish time to separate faster and slower paces.
Packet pickup is offered as a VIP option (additional fee) with early pickup locations at Fleet Feet Cool Springs and Fleet Feet Brentwood, and as general packet pickup at the race address. Prepaid parking passes for the closest (blue) lot are distributed at packet pickup; other designated (yellow) parking lots are complimentary. The city does not permit bikes, rollerblades, skateboards, scooters, or dogs on the course; strollers are allowed.
Peer-to-peer fundraising is available; raising or donating at least $150 qualifies a participant to receive a limited edition "Love thy Neighbor" t-shirt. All standard registration fees are non-refundable, though optional third-party refund protection may be purchased during registration. Age-group awards and other race awards are presented after the event at Race Central; unclaimed awards are retained for 30 days and then donated.
