About the 2026 ICCS Turkey Trot

This race is organized by a Christian school and carries that feel throughout the morning. There is a shorter distance aimed at younger or newer runners, and a longer option open to both runners and walkers. Costume prizes add some chaos to the start area, and the organizers encourage bringing canned goods as part of the entry ritual.

Same-day registration is available, which takes some pressure off the morning. Post-race awards cover overall and age-division placings in the longer distance, with walkers recognized separately from runners.

Common Questions About the 2026 ICCS Turkey Trot

Will I finish last at the 2026 ICCS Turkey Trot?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 29:32, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:00:47, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 2026 ICCS Turkey Trot a good first 5K?

It is a small race (104 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 2026 ICCS Turkey Trot?

The 5K winner ran 17:01 while the median finisher took 29:32. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
