Westchester Turkey Trot 10K & 5K presented by Northwell Orthopedics

Westchester Turkey Trot 10K & 5K presented by Northwell Orthopedics takes place in Valhalla, New York, on Thanksgiving morning, November 26, 2026. The Kids 100M Dash opens the program at 8:45 AM, and the 10K (6.2 miles) and 5K (3.1 miles) start together at 9:00 AM. The event is built for families and runners who want to stay active into the fall, on scenic courses that suit both personal-best attempts and a relaxed holiday outing with friends.

Choosing between the two distances comes down to your training. The 5K is the natural pick if you run a couple of times a week and want a hard but short effort; the 10K rewards eight weeks or so of consistent running with one longer run of 6 to 7 miles. Because both distances start at once, position yourself according to pace, and use the 15 minutes after the kids' dash to finish warming up in the cold late-November air.
