About the 2026 LOTO Turkey Trot 5k

The race starts and finishes at Camdenton High School on Thanksgiving morning, which means the parking lot fills with families who drove straight from home in their coats. The course is a road 5k, with a shorter fun run option for kids and adults who want something gentler. Timing is gun time, so lining up well matters if you are chasing a personal best.

Race-morning packet pickup and on-site registration both happen at the high school. There is also an evening pickup the night before, though the location is confirmed closer to race day. Profits go to a local food pantry and the school's cross country team, so the finish-line crowd tends to include people who know each other.

Common Questions About the 2026 LOTO Turkey Trot 5k

Will I finish last at the 2026 LOTO Turkey Trot 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 4988.95m field finished slower than 33:05, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:04:00, 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 LOTO Turkey Trot 5k a good first 4988.95m?

A field of 293 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 4988.95m, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 2026 LOTO Turkey Trot 5k?

The 4988.95m winner ran 16:05 while the median finisher took 33:05. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
