Scottsdale Turkey Trot & Wellness Festival

The Scottsdale Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving-morning three-mile run and full wellness festival held annually at The Scottsdale Resort & Spa. More than just a race, it blends community, fitness, recovery and celebration in one place, welcoming runners and walkers of all levels along a roughly 5K route. The event is family-friendly, with strollers and kids welcome to join the fun, and it wraps the run in a festival atmosphere of fitness classes, music and recovery experiences, including access to a recovery area with sauna and cold plunge for participants. Limited free parking is available at the resort for attendees with proof of ticket. It is a modern, wellness-forward take on the classic turkey trot, giving Scottsdale-area families and fitness enthusiasts an energizing, celebratory way to begin the holiday. Registration is required; check the official site for current pricing and start details, which follow the resort's established Thanksgiving-morning schedule.
