About the event

✨ Returning for 2026: FREE KIDS’ FUN RUN! ✨

We’re excited to bring back the kids fun run! Kids ages 11 and under are invited to join us for a FREE Fun Run immediately following the 5K.
Every child deserves the chance to live their best life and celebrate every moment. By participating in the Kids’ Fun Run, your family will be part of St. Jude's mission to bring hope, healing, and cures to kids battling cancer.

👟 Details to Remember:

Open to children ages 11 and under
Takes place right after the 5K
Each child must be accompanied by an adult (no drop-offs). Supervision will be provided at the playground while parents run. 
Bring the whole family, cheer them on, and let’s make this a celebration of courage, community, and joy!

BEST TIMES RACE TIMING is also returning in 2026! GET YOUR MOST ACCURATE RESULTS AND RANKS RIGHT AWAY! 

Run first, gobble later! Last year you helped raise over $10,000 for the children of St. Jude. Let's run past $10,000 this year! We are looking forward to another successful run with each of you. 

Come run, walk, or trot with us on Thanksgiving morning for a good cause. All funds raised will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Kick off the holiday season with us by giving to St. Jude while enjoying a fun morning run! Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, we want to see YOU at the Turkey Trot. Bring your friends and family, dress up in your favorite Thanksgiving-themed costume, and make holiday memories with us. 

The St. Jude Mission: The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay.

Danny Thomas opened the doors to St. Jude in 1962 with the dream that “no child should die in the dawn of life." Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80%, and we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
