Wheeler Elementary School Turkey Trot 5k and Keiki Fun Run 2026

The Wheeler Elementary School Turkey Trot 5k and Keiki Fun Run is a school race at Wheeler Elementary School on Wheeler Army Airfield in Wahiawa, Hawaii. The morning begins with check-in at the school, followed by a 1k Keiki Fun Run for children 12 and under, and then the 5k Turkey Trot. Children 12 and under can run the keiki event without charge; installation access is required for all attendees. Both routes begin and end at Wheeler Elementary School, simplifying logistics for families with multiple runners. The event welcomes strollers and costumes, contributing to a Thanksgiving school-community atmosphere rather than a competitive road-race feel. A yearly tradition is the Food Fight for the Wheeler YMCA Food Pantry: runners bringing canned food at registration receive a reduced entry fee, while day-of registration is cash only and excludes the donation discount.
