Turkey Day 8K and 3K Family Fun Run 2026

Run Wild Missoula's Turkey Day 8K & 3K Family Fun Run is Missoula's only Turkey Trot. The race begins at 9:30 AM from University of Montana Campus Rec. Participants can select the 8K race or the free 3K Family Fun Run, accommodating those seeking a challenging effort and families wishing to move together before the holiday meal. The event is centered on the local Missoula running community. Run Wild Missoula organizes the day, inviting participants to “trot, strut, and gobble.” The food bank partnership provides the race with significant local impact. In a record-breaking edition, participants raised over $13,000 for the Missoula Food Bank, making the morning as much about giving as it is about running.
