2026 Turkey Trot 5K
The Turkey Trot 5K in Cortland is a traditional Thanksgiving morning running event. It serves as the final race of the season for the organizing body. The event takes place at the Cortland YMCA, which serves as the central hub for check-in and race logistics.
Participants can receive their bibs and race t-shirts during the check-in window on the morning of the event or during a pre-race pickup window the day before at the YMCA. It is important to note that a registration deadline exists in early November for those wishing to receive an event t-shirt.
The course layout begins at the Cortland YMCA and follows a route down Tompkins Street. From there, runners travel through the SUNY Cortland campus before completing the return leg back to the starting area.
- 5 km
The event capacity is limited to 500 participants. Parking at the Cortland YMCA facility is restricted, though additional on-street parking is available in the surrounding area for those traveling to the venue by car. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
