Turkey Day 5K

The Turkey Day 5K is a Thanksgiving-morning run and walk through the heart of downtown Minneapolis, hosted by the nonprofit Twin Cities In Motion. Beginning at 8:00 a.m., it is a lively, all-abilities event that welcomes joggers, walkers and families pushing strollers, so everyone can start the holiday with movement and fresh air before the feast. A scenic downtown route and festive on-course entertainment give the morning a celebratory, community feel. Children 18 and under can participate free, making it an easy family tradition, while adult registration is tiered by sign-up date. As a Twin Cities In Motion event, participation helps support the organization's mission of promoting fitness and community through running. Bundle up for late-November weather and come ready for a cheerful, welcoming atmosphere. Paid adult registration is required and includes event perks; signing up early generally means a lower price.
