San Antonio Food Bank Turkey Trot 5K & Kids Fun Run

About this adventure

Celebrated as San Antonio's premier Thanksgiving morning fitness tradition for over 15 years, the San Antonio Food Bank Turkey Trot 5K and Kids Fun Run brings together thousands of runners, casual walkers, strollers, and costumed turkeys through the historic streets of Downtown San Antonio and the King William Historic District. The scenic course begins and ends outside the historic H-E-B Arsenal Campus and Commander's House Park, winding past 19th-century Victorian homes, towering pecan trees, and scenic stretches along the San Antonio River. Every race registration directly supports hunger-relief efforts across 29 Southwest Texas counties, providing 70 meals per participant. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Fully paved, smooth asphalt downtown streets comfortably accommodate single and double jogging strollers; families with strollers start in the dedicated friendly wave behind timed runners. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Portable family restrooms, handwashing stations, and quiet grassy knolls are available around Commander's House Park and Arsenal Grounds. • Age Suitability: All ages welcome; features a dedicated untimed 1/4-mile Kids Fun Run dash for children ages 10 and under. • Sensory Tips: Start line music, cheering stations, and megaphone announcements are energetic; calmer open space is easily found 100 yards back along the expansive park lawns.
