Red Lodge Event's Turkey Trot

Red Lodge Event's Turkey Trot takes place in Red Lodge, Montana, on November 26, 2026, at the Rodeo Grounds, with a 3-mile run starting at 10:00 AM. The event welcomes participants of all ages along with their pets; dogs must be leashed, and everyone, children and dogs included, needs to register online or on site. Donations collected support BareTooth Cupboards and the Beartooth Humane Alliance, which helps with pet adoption, feeds hungry animals, and provides other services for animals in need.

Three miles is a friendly distance, and the late-morning start is a plus in a Montana November, when early hours can be very cold. If you are bringing a dog, practice a few runs together beforehand so the leash does not become a problem in a crowd. Runners who train regularly can push the pace; walkers and families can take it easy and simply enjoy the outing. A month or two of light running is plenty of preparation.
