Living Well Fitness Turkey Trot

Living Well Fitness Turkey Trot takes place in Walton, Kentucky, on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026. Put on under the Living Well Fitness name, the event offers a single format, a 5K Turkey Trot (3.1 miles) that starts at 8:00 a.m. It is a straightforward holiday road run over the classic short distance, open to runners and walkers alike.

A 5K at the end of November works for two very different plans. If you have trained through the fall, it is a chance to run a fast time before winter: keep your easy mileage steady, add one weekly session of 400-meter to 800-meter repeats at goal pace and a few strides, and rest up in the final days. If you are running with family or trying the distance for the first time, a few relaxed 30-minute runs or brisk walks in the preceding weeks are enough. Northern Kentucky mornings can be chilly at this time of year, so arrive with gloves and a hat and jog for a few minutes before the 8:00 a.m. start.
