Thanksgiving Gobble Trot Run 5K/10K/13.1 Denver/Aurora at Piney Creek Hollow Park

The Thanksgiving Gobble Trot is a small, local group run on Saturday, November 28, 2026, at Piney Creek Hollow Park in Centennial. Distances are a 5K, 10K, half marathon (13.1 miles), and a 1 mile Family Fun Run, with a virtual option for anyone who prefers to run on their own time. All paces and ages are welcome, runners under 18 need a guardian, and you can run it or walk it.

Waves start at 7:30 AM, 8:00 AM, and 8:30 AM, and registrants reserve a wave with their confirmation number. Each wave has a capped field. Late arrivals can join when they get there, since coordinators stay on site for 3 hours after the first wave. The course map and final participant details are emailed by the Wednesday before race day.

Registration is $42 for the 5K, $45 for the 10K, $50 for the half marathon, $35 for the Family Fun Run, and $37 for the virtual run. A $30 eco registration without a shirt is also offered. Entry includes a running T-shirt shipped to your US mailing address, a finisher’s medal, a virtual training run, online results and a certificate of completion, and an invitation to join a local running club. A technical shirt upgrade is $5.

There is no packet pickup: shirts ship to your door the week of the race, and bibs are handed out on race day. Timing is optional. Participants can track their own time with an app such as Strava and submit it online to have it posted, or ask a coordinator for help. Register on RunSignup through the link on this page. Details are subject to change, so always confirm with the organizer before registering.
