About this adventure

Skip the Thanksgiving morning cooking rush and enjoy your turkey trot on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend! The NYC Turkey Trot is hosted at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, offering a fun 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and a super energetic Kids 100-Meter Dash. Little athletes love the high-energy atmosphere, complete with festive music, Thanksgiving character mascots, and a sweet surprise at the finish line: warm gourmet Duck Donuts served fresh to every participant! Finishers earn hefty holiday-themed medals that kids love showing off at school the following Monday. Family Tips: Taking place on Saturday allows families to run together without interrupting holiday cooking or Thursday parade viewings. The paved World's Fair promenades are 100% stroller friendly, and there is abundant free parking adjacent to the Queens Museum and Terrace on the Park. The 7 train to Mets–Willets Point also provides direct transit access.
