Thanksgiving Gobble Trot Run 5K/10K/13.1 KANSAS CITY

Thanksgiving Gobble Trot Run 5K/10K/13.1 KANSAS CITY is held in Kansas City, Missouri, on November 28, 2026. Four distances start at 7:30 a.m.: a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K, a 5K and a one-mile family fun run. The event welcomes all ages and abilities as runners or walkers, timing is optional, and entry brings a race shirt, a finisher medal and other items delivered to your address. A virtual option covers anyone who cannot be there.

Ask yourself what the fall actually looked like before you choose. Twenty-five to thirty miles a week through October and November puts a road half comfortably in range; less than that and the 10K will give you a better morning. Whichever you pick, run the first two miles slower than feels right on a mass start where four distances leave together, because the early pace is always someone else's.
