Celebrate 20 years of a Huntington Thanksgiving tradition!

The 20th Annual Huntington Turkey Trot returns to Ritter Park on Thanksgiving morning for a 5K run/walk benefiting Little Victories Animal Rescue. Whether you run, walk, push a stroller, bring the kids, or trot alongside your dog, everyone is welcome to join us for a little movement and a lot of fun before the Thanksgiving feast.

For two decades, the Huntington Turkey Trot has brought families, friends, neighbors, and four-legged companions together on Thanksgiving morning. This year, we celebrate 20 years of community, tradition, gratitude, and support for animals in need.

And don't forget the food! We encourage every Turkey Trot participant to bring a bag of dog or cat food for Little Victories. Food and other much-needed shelter supplies will be collected during early packet pickup and on race morning.

Lace up, gather your flock, and help us celebrate 20 years of moving our feet before we eat!
