Turkey Day 5K

Frostburg, MD

Registration openAnnual since at least 2025

About the Turkey Day 5K

The Turkey Day 5K runs on Thanksgiving morning out of Mountain Ridge High School. The course is open to runners and walkers alike, and the whole field covers the same route. With pumpkin pies going to the top finishers in each age group, the post-race scene has a holiday feel that fits the day.

Registration and packet pickup open inside the school cafeteria before the gun. Showing up without a bib is a real option: same-day registration carries no price penalty over signing up in advance.

Common Questions About the Turkey Day 5K

Will I finish last at the Turkey Day 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the race field finished slower than 32:28, and the last recorded finisher came in around 59:24, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Turkey Day 5K a good first race?

A field of 403 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 race, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Turkey Day 5K?

The race winner ran 16:31 while the median finisher took 32:28. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
