About
Minocqua/Woodruff Turkey Trot takes place in Woodruff, Wisconsin, on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026. The event is a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 9:00 a.m., named for the two neighboring Northwoods communities of Minocqua and Woodruff. It is a holiday-morning outing for runners and walkers alike.
Late November in northern Wisconsin means a genuinely cold start, so treat this as a winter race: layers, gloves, a hat, and a proper warm-up jog before you line up. The 5K distance is an easy fit for a first-timer following a six-week walk-run plan, and for a regular runner it is a low-pressure chance to test the fitness built over the fall. Keep the days before the race easy, and if the roads are slick, favor a comfortable, even effort over a hard time trial.
