Thousands of runners, joggers, and festive costumed turkeys line up along 17th Avenue to take on certified, flat, fast 10K and 5K courses winding through downtown Phoenix without out-and-back bottlenecks. Families with energetic young children can participate in the beloved 1-Mile Gobbler Dash and the dedicated Tot Trot for kids ages 6 and under, where every child earns a finisher medal. The post-race festival on the plaza lawns features costume contests with prizes for the best-dressed turkey family, holiday photo backdrops, live DJ tunes, and light post-run snacks. The event proudly benefits Paws for Youth pet therapy programs. ## Similar picks in Phoenix - [Scottsdale Turkey Trot — Thanksgiving 5K & Wellness Festival](https://grassyknees.com/phoenix/activities/scottsdale-turkey-trot-thanksgiving-5k-and-wellness-festival--listing-c0b05c2e1ee566bcaf227e0f) — Thu, Nov 26 · 8:30 AM · Scottsdale Turkey Trot start/finish · All ages · Paid · checked Oct 30.
