Winter Park Turkey Trot 5K-ish at Cooper Creek Square

The Winter Park Turkey Trot 5K-ish is an annual Thanksgiving Day run and walk through the high country scenery of Winter Park. The race starts at 9:30 AM on Thursday, November 26, 2026, from 47 Cooper Creek Way in Winter Park and finishes at Vicious Cycle Brewing. The course follows Town of Winter Park side streets and the Town of Fraser recreation path.

Entry is $30 for adults and $15 for kids under 12, and prices increase by $5 on Thanksgiving Day. The race is not timed and costumes are encouraged, so it suits runners chasing a personal best and walkers in turkey-themed attire alike. Participants can celebrate with a post-race pint at the finish line.

Packet pickup runs Wednesday, November 25, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the Winter Park Information Center and from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Vicious Cycle Brewing, 751 Zerex St in Fraser. Race-morning pickup is Thursday, November 26, from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM at 50 Vasquez Rd in Winter Park.

The race takes place at high altitude, where icy and snowy conditions could exist. The course will be plowed as conditions allow, and the race goes on snow or shine. All proceeds will be donated to the Fraser River Valley Lions Club to support grants to local nonprofits and scholarships for local graduating seniors.
