Cedar Rapids Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk 2026

The Cedar Rapids Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk is a Thanksgiving morning race in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, offering both timed and untimed 5K options. It is designed for those seeking a holiday run or walk before the day’s meal, and every finisher receives a donut at the finish line. The event also features a virtual 5K, a kids’ 5K fun run for ages 11 and under, and a free 100-meter Kids Dash for ages 8 and under. The kids’ 5K uses an untimed bib and includes the finish-line donut, maintaining a simple, low-pressure family atmosphere. Participants can share race photos using the #TurkeyTradition hashtag, and official updates will be posted on IowaRuns.com as event details may change before race morning.
