New York City Turkey Trot Half Marathon & 5K 2026

The New York City Turkey Trot Half Marathon & 5K begins near the Queens Museum and Unisphere in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, using a New York landmark as its starting point. This Thanksgiving-season running event in Queens offers a half marathon, a timed 5K, an untimed 5K run/walk, children's races, and virtual participation options for the 5K and half marathon. The event accommodates diverse participants: competitive runners can opt for the half marathon, walkers can select the untimed 5K, and families can include younger children in the 5K fun run or the free 100-meter dash. The children's 5K provides an untimed bib, a medal, and a donut at the finish line. Participants are invited to share race photos using the #TurkeyTradition tag, with official information available on TriStateRuns.com.
