Thanksgiving Gobble Trot Run 5K/10K/13.1 DALLAS FORT WORTH 2026

The Thanksgiving Turkey Gobble Trot in Dallas-Fort Worth is a private group run with limited wave sizes, so registration may close once each wave is full. This annual event takes place during the Thanksgiving season and offers 5K, 10K, and half marathon distances. Participants may run or walk, rather than viewing it as a formal, chip-timed competition. The organizer sends final details and course maps via email on the Wednesday before the race, with bibs distributed on race day. Families, friends, community groups, newcomers, and experienced runners are welcome. Participants under 18 require a guardian. Timing is optional; runners can use an app, submit results online, or seek assistance from coordinators. Registration covers a shirt mailed to U.S. addresses, a finisher medal, a towel or giveaway item, a digital training pack, online results, a completion certificate, and an invitation to local run clubs.
