Thanksgiving Day Pie & Glove 5k Run/Walk

Thanksgiving Day Pie & Glove 5k Run/Walk takes place in Painted Post, New York, on November 26, 2026, with the 5K run/walk (3.1 miles) starting at 9:30 AM. One distance and one start keep things simple, and the run/walk format means that everyone from competitive runners to families strolling together can take part in the same event on the same morning.

A 5K on Thanksgiving is an ideal season-closer if you have raced through the fall, or a gentle first race if you are just getting started. Runners aiming for a time should do a proper warm-up before the 9:30 start and hold back a little in the first half-mile, since cold legs tend to go out too fast. Beginners can prepare with four to six weeks of run-walk sessions and still finish comfortably. Walkers can expect roughly 45 minutes to an hour on the course at a relaxed pace.
