DV Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk

DV Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk is held in Milford Township, Pennsylvania, on November 21, 2026. The single format is the annual DV Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk, a 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 8:00 AM. Billed as a run/walk, it is open to anyone who wants to cover the distance on foot the weekend before Thanksgiving, whether that means racing hard, jogging with family, or walking from start to finish.

Walkers should plan on roughly 45 minutes to an hour and start near the back so faster runners have clear road; comfortable shoes you have already worn are all the gear you need. Runners can treat it as a first race or a pre-holiday benchmark. For a first 5K, a month or two of three easy runs per week is enough. For a personal best, keep the easy days easy and add one interval session weekly, such as six times 400 meters at 5K pace. On race morning, arrive early enough to jog ten minutes before the 8:00 AM gun, and run the first mile at a pace you could still talk at.
