Sewickley Turkey Trot – Thanksgiving Morning 5K Run/Walk

Sewickley Turkey Trot – Thanksgiving Morning 5K Run/Walk is held in Sewickley Heights, Pennsylvania, on November 26, 2026. The single event, the Sewickley Turkey Trot 5K, starts at 8:30 a.m. and covers 3.1 miles. As a run/walk, it is open to everyone from competitive runners to families walking together on Thanksgiving morning.

Don't assume a pancake-flat course in a place called Sewickley Heights; pace by effort rather than by the watch, and if there are hills, use the descents to recover. Experienced runners can use the race as a sharp 5K test in the middle of winter training, while first-timers can get ready with six weeks of easy running that builds to 30 minutes non-stop. Arrive early enough for a short warm-up, keep the opening half mile controlled, and save something for the final stretch. Then you can enjoy the rest of the holiday knowing your run is already done.
