Turkey Trot Fun Run and Walk 2026

The Turkey Trot Fun Run and Walk is a Thanksgiving race in Chicago, built around the holiday rather than a standard road-race atmosphere. Runners and walkers can choose from multiple distances, and families have a separate kids run. The event leans into the Thanksgiving theme with festive race-day energy and a holiday celebration around the run. It is presented by Turkey Trot Chicago as the city’s Thanksgiving tradition, so the crowd is likely a mix of casual walkers, families, and people starting the holiday with a run before the rest of the day begins.
