Steamboat Springs Turkey Trot

Welcome to the 2023 Steamboat Springs Turkey Trot, a race that has become one of our community's greatest Thanksgiving traditions. This race/fun run/walk has proven to be such a special day for friends, families and visitors and benefits the Steamboat Springs High School Track & Field and Cross Country programs. The Turkey Trot is a 5K course that starts and ends at Steamboat Springs High School, traveling to beautiful Strawberry Park and back. Dress in your cold weather running gear or even a Thanksgiving Day costume.   

Donations: Non-perishable food donations will be accepted on site for Lift Up Food Bank! A bin will be located near the finish line. 

When: Thursday, November 23rd, 2023, starting at 9:30am with Opening Ceremony a few minutes prior.  "Day of" registration from 8:15-9:00am.   

Who: Runners, walkers, competitive adaptive, strollers, burly trailers, and leashed dogs on race course (note we will NOT be finishing in Gardner Stadium so your pups are welcome to come!). This is an out and back course so distances may be shortened for any children and/or athletes with special considerations. Wheelchair access is available to all facilities involved in the race. Depending on weather, the course could be dry, icy or snowy, so you might consider yak trax or other shoe traction.
