Logan Turkey Trot 5k/1mile

Logan Turkey Trot 5k/1mile takes place in Logan, Iowa, on November 21, 2026, and is put on for the Logan Iowa Foundation. Two formats start together at 9:00 a.m.: a 5K Run/Walk (3.1 miles) and a 1 Mile Walk, so runners, walkers and families can all take part in the same morning.

Small-town turkey trots like this one are a low-pressure way to run your first 5K or to close out the season with a solid effort. If you are new to running, six weeks of alternating walking and jogging, three times a week, will get you ready to cover 3.1 miles; if you already run, one weekly session of short intervals will help you hold a steady pace from start to finish. The 1 Mile Walk needs no particular preparation and is a good option for older family members or anyone recovering from an injury. Plan for gloves, a hat and a layer you can tie around your waist once you warm up. A ten-minute jog before the 9:00 a.m. start will make the first stretch far more comfortable.
