Thanksgiving Day has become the biggest day for road races in the United States, with some 1 million people running a ‘Turkey Trot’. These races raise millions of dollars for charity as well. In honor of these wonderful, inspirational events, we’ve put together this list of Top Thanksgiving Turkey Trot Runs — the largest, most historic, most scenic, and unique Thanksgiving Day road races in the country. These Turkey Trots are worth traveling to! Note we don’t include virtual-only races. Happy running and happy Thanksgiving!
Claims to be the largest Thanksgiving Day fun run in the country, with over 30,000 runners! Several live bands throughout the course on race day.
