About this race
The DC Turkey Trot 5k & Half is a pre-Thanksgiving race in Washington, DC. Both distances start near the Georgetown area along the Potomac. It offers a 5K and a half marathon, both on the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path. The morning start gives it the feel of a straightforward holiday-week run rather than a large city spectacle. The course is described as fast and flat, suiting runners chasing a steady effort as well as those wanting a race before Thanksgiving weekend.
The half marathon begins and ends near the Potomac Boat Club in Georgetown, while the 5K starts and finishes at Fletcher's Boat House. Both routes use the canal path, keeping the race close to the river and away from complicated downtown turns. Walkers and strollers are welcome, making the event more family-friendly than a strict runners-only race. Virtual options are also available, with choices for a medal, a shirt, both, or neither.
