About the Tuscola Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk 2026
This is a Thanksgiving morning race starting at Ervin Park and winding through Tuscola. The course is open to runners and walkers, and the holiday timing means the crowd tends to be families bundling up together rather than a purely competitive field. Proceeds go toward local schools and food insecurity programs in the area.
Age-group awards cover the full range of participants, kids included. Beyond that, the organizers do not spell out packet pickup or parking specifics, so arriving a little early to find your footing at Ervin Park is a reasonable plan.
