King Turkey Day 5K and 10K
The King Turkey Day 5K and 10K is a community road race held in Worthington, Minnesota on September 19, 2026. The event uses a start/finish area near 10th Street and 7th Avenue and lists a postal address of 702 10th St, Worthington, MN 56187.
Two distance options are offered:
- 5K
- 10K
The 10K course is USATF certified, though the organizer notes possible adjustments because of road construction that could void the certification. Both distances are professionally chip timed. The 5K route has been updated for this edition, and the course includes two dedicated cheer zones and a lively atmosphere with post-race refreshments.
Race logistics include packet pickup on the day of the event near the corner of 7th Ave and 10th St and an additional packet pickup location the day before at 700 2nd Ave. Every participant receives a finisher medal; top three male and female finishers in each age bracket receive a prize bag instead of an age-group medal. Additional race features listed are new race swag options and the opportunity for finishers to participate in the King Turkey Day parade.
Partners and supporters named for the event include Missouri River Energy, Worthington Public Utilities, Radio Works / Media Works, the Worthington Sport and Recreation Committee, Brown's Shoe Fit Co., and Avera Medical Center. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
