Better Together - Turkey Trot, Sponsored by Kids R Kids

Better Together - Turkey Trot, Sponsored by Kids R Kids is held in Spring, Texas, on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026. The morning starts at 7:00 a.m. with the Lil' Turkeys 1K Fun Run (about 0.6 mile) for kids 12 and under, followed by the 5K Turkey Trot at 7:30 a.m. The event is built around community rather than competition: it welcomes participants of every age and fitness level and puts the emphasis on getting active with family, friends, and neighbors.

Because the atmosphere is relaxed, this 5K works well as a first race or as a family tradition where the kids run the 1K and the adults follow in the 5K. You do not need much preparation to enjoy it: four to six weeks of walking and jogging three times a week is enough to cover 3.1 miles comfortably. Regular runners can still use it as a controlled tempo run or a fun, fast finish to their training week before the holiday.
