Mile High United Way Turkey Trot 2026 at Washington Park

The Mile High United Way Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving Day sporting event in Washington Park, Denver, on Thursday, November 26, 2026. This is the 53rd edition of the race, and the organizer notes that it is a qualifier for the BOLDERBoulder.

There are two options: a 4 mile run on a relatively flat point-to-point course, and the Lil’ Gobbler Family Fun Run of just under one mile. Only the 4 mile is professionally timed.

Race morning is based at South High School, 1700 E. Louisiana Ave. Registration and packet pickup open at 7:30 AM, Wave 1 corrals open at 8:15 AM, and the 4 mile starts in three waves at 9:00, 9:30 and 10:00 AM. The Lil’ Gobbler Fun Run starts at 10:15 AM. Packets can also be picked up at Fleet Feet Cherry Creek on November 22, 24 and 25.

Individual entry for the 4 mile or the Lil’ Gobbler is $55.24 including fees, with a $5 discount at checkout for youth 12 and under and seniors 60 and over. Entry includes an official 2026 Turkey Trot T-shirt (sizes YS to 3XL), a race bib, free digital photos and the pre- and post-race festivities. A Furry Friends registration for dogs is $15 and includes a pet bandana while quantities last.

The organizer describes a family-focused finish village with a Kids Zone featuring games, face painters and photos with Gobbles the Turkey, and Thanksgiving-themed costumes are encouraged. Adults can visit a post-race craft beer garden with ID.
