Rochester Turkey Trot 5K 2026

The Rochester Turkey Trot 5K is a Thanksgiving morning run and walk in Rochester, Minnesota, featuring a 5K distance. It begins near Soldiers Field Drive Southwest and provides a timed 5K for those seeking a result and an untimed 5K walk for families wanting to be active before their holiday meal. The event also offers a kids’ 5K fun run for ages 11 and under, a free 100-meter Kids Dash for ages 8 and under, and a virtual 5K for those unable to attend in person. A distinctive feature is the donut: 5K participants receive one, and the kids’ fun run includes a finisher donut along with an untimed bib.
