East Providence Turkey Trot 10k / 5k

East Providence Turkey Trot 10k / 5k is run in the scenic part of East Providence, Rhode Island, on November 14, 2026. Both distances start at 9 a.m.: a 10K (6.2 miles) and a 5K (3.1 miles). The event is chip-timed, welcomes runners of every age, and every participant receives a medal, with awards for the top finishers.

Turkey trots are a fixture of the American running calendar, and this one keeps a lively race atmosphere while staying accessible. The 5K is the natural choice for a first bib or a family entry. The 10K asks for a little more, roughly six weeks of running three or four times a week with one longer outing, and gives you a proper 40 to 60 minute effort in return. Chip timing means your result reflects your own start, so line up where your pace belongs.
