CLOVIS Turkey Day Run

CLOVIS Turkey Day Run is an annual Thanksgiving event organized by California Classic Events in Old Town Clovis, California, on November 26, 2026. Both formats start at 8:00 a.m.: a 5k Run/Walk (3.1 miles) and a 2k Walk (about 1.2 miles). Runners can earn points toward the Classic Runner of the Year series, every participant gets a new medal and T-shirt, and kids 9 and under receive a special discount. Free parking is available, which keeps this community tradition simple to attend with the whole family.

If you are competing in the Classic Runner of the Year series, this 5K is a chance to bank points at the end of the year, so treat it like a race: keep your mileage steady, add a weekly session of short, fast repeats through November, and take the final few days easy. If you are walking the 2K or jogging the 5K with family, a few relaxed outings in the preceding weeks are all the preparation you need. Arrive early enough to park and pick up your bib before the shared 8:00 a.m. start.
