Thanksgiving Gobble Trot Run 5K/10K/13.1 NYC

Thanksgiving Gobble Trot Run 5K/10K/13.1 NYC takes place in New York City on November 28, 2026, with a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K, a 5K and a one-mile family fun run all off at 7:30 a.m. The event is aimed at getting family and friends out together, timing is optional, and each entry includes a race shirt, a finisher medal and other items shipped to your address. A virtual option is there for anyone who cannot attend in person.

Holiday-weekend road races like this one are a good way to hold onto fall fitness without committing to another peak race. Run the half as a steady long effort rather than a time trial and it slots neatly into a winter base phase. If you are starting from scratch, the 5K is a realistic target inside eight weeks, and the mile needs no build at all.
