Pensacola Beach Turkey Trot 2026

The Pensacola Beach Turkey Trot is an annual 5K on Pensacola Beach, Florida, run on Thanksgiving Day. It is a short road race tied to the holiday, with a beach setting and a field that is large for a local 5K. More than 1,000 runners and walkers participate each year, including people from across the United States. The event is family-friendly but still allows for competitive racing, and its proceeds support brain cancer research through the Robert Tisch Tumor Center at Duke University.
