16th Annual 5K Turkey Trot​
Thanksgiving Week: November 23-29, 2020
Anywhere, Anytime!

REGISTER NOW!

We never imagined the possibility of spending Thanksgiving morning apart from our dedicated Turkey Trotters! As is the new normal, we will have to gather virtually this year. Though we are sad we won’t get to see you in person, we are excited to bring the Trot online with all the fun and camaraderie you’ve known and loved in years past. Register today and be part of another special community tradition, from wherever you are!

All proceeds are put to work right here in our community, bringing food, housing, and HOPE to people in crisis.

Want to reminisce? Race results from 2019 can be found here and photos from race day can be found here!

Frequently Asked Questions!

Q: Where can we run?
A: You can use Laurel's official 5K route or create your own course to complete the 5K, 10K (new this year!), or 1 Mile Run/Walk. Trot around your own neighborhood, on a treadmill, or try a mile's worth of stairs! It's up to you!

Q: When can we run?
A: Any time during the week of Thanksgiving (Nov. 23-29).

Q: How will you time my run?
A: Since we're all in different places and running different races this year, timing your run on your own is optional. Participants will have the option to submit their time to be shown on the leaderboards during the week of Thanksgiving, but there will be no "official" winners.

Q: What about prizes?
A: Since we have no way to confirm times or to compare different routes, prize winners will be drawn randomly. That means everyone has an equal chance to win this year!

Q: What about t-shirts?
A: We have decided to make t-shirts optional this year so that we could lower your registration fee and eliminate the need for person-to-person contact. T-shirts are on sale now at the Swag Shop! You can pick up your shirt at LARS for free shipping, or have it shipped directly to you!

Q: What does my registration fee do?
A: 100% of your registration fee (and proceeds from t-shirt/mask purchases) go directly to support the work of LARS. The Turkey Trot is LARS' biggest fundraiser and an important source of unrestricted funding that gives us more flexibility to help our clients throughout the year.
