Olivette Turkey Trot 2026

The Olivette Turkey Trot begins and ends at Stacy Park in Olivette, Missouri, on Thanksgiving morning. This chip-timed 5K run/walk, organized by the City of Olivette, takes place on a course closed to traffic, attracting over 2,000 participants. The event welcomes families, allowing strollers and leashed dogs, and offers a free Kids Fun Run for children under five. The 5K route departs Stacy Park, heading onto Old Bonhomme Road. It passes mile one near Char Bean Lane and mile two near Elkington Lane, then circles back via Lindley Drive to finish at the park. The course consists of quiet neighborhood streets and an asphalt trail, with Chronotrack chip timing for accurate results. Participants receive a custom Turkey Trot shirt. Following the race, there will be live music, refreshments, a post-race gathering, and awards. All proceeds benefit the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry, supporting individuals throughout the St. Louis area.
