31st Annual UWL 5k Turkey Trot
The 31st Annual UWL 5k Turkey Trot takes place in La Crosse on November 21, 2026, at 1601 Farwell St. The event is presented by Z93 and GPC Pepsi and includes adult and youth race options and family-oriented features.
The main route is a 5k Fun Run & Walk that travels down Lang Drive, passes through a La Crosse marsh trail, and returns on East Avenue. Youth events, called the Junior Gobbler races, include a short dash across a basketball court inside the Recreational Eagle Center and a 1/2 mile race on the indoor track upstairs. Junior Gobblers receive medals and have photos with mascots at the finish.
Packet pick-up is available at the Recreational Eagle Center on Friday, November 20 and on race morning at the REC. Free parking is provided in UWL Lot C-7 outside the Recreational Eagle Center. A course map is available and a digital race packet offers additional event materials and sponsor content.
Race registration offers options with or without T-shirts and different pricing periods. The event lists separate registration categories for the 5k and for the Junior Gobbler dash and 1/2 mile. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
