A DC Turkey Trot 5k & Half egy Thanksgiving előtti futás Washington, DC-ben. Mindkét táv a Georgetown környékéről indul, a Potomac mellett. Van 5K és half marathon, mindkettő a Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path-on megy. A reggeli rajt miatt inkább olyan sima ünnepi hét eleji futás hangulata van, nem nagyvárosi show. A pályát gyorsnak és síknak írják, szóval jó annak is, aki egyenletes tempót akar futni, meg annak is, aki még Thanksgiving weekend előtt beiktatna egy versenyt. A half marathon rajtja és célja a Potomac Boat Club közelében van Georgetownban, a 5K pedig Fletcher's Boat House-tól indul és oda is ér vissza. Mindkét útvonal a canal path-ot használja, így végig közel marad a folyóhoz, és kimaradnak a belvárosi kanyarvadászatok. Gyalogosok és babakocsisok is jöhetnek, ettől családosabb az egész, nem az a csak futóknak szóló, szigorú verseny. Virtual opciók is vannak, lehet érmet, pólót, mindkettőt vagy egyiket sem kérni.
