Turkey Shuffle Fort Worth

Turkey Shuffle Fort Worth takes place in Fort Worth, Texas, on Sunday, November 29, 2026, at Riverside Trailhead. The program offers a 10K (6.2 miles), a 5K (3.1 miles), and a 1-mile run, all starting at 9:00 a.m., preceded by a Kids Dash at 8:55 a.m. The courses run through parks and green spaces, and the festive atmosphere includes a Thanksgiving-themed costume contest with prizes for the most original outfits and music from DJ Sasquatch throughout the day. Every runner gets a medal and a t-shirt, and age-group awards recognize individual performances.

With three distances plus a kids' event, the day works for whole families. The 1-mile run and Kids Dash suit beginners and children, the 5K is a good goal for anyone who has been running a few weeks, and the 10K rewards runners who have built some endurance over the fall. If you are targeting the 10K, plan on six to eight weeks with three or four runs a week and a weekly longer run of 5 to 7 miles. For the 5K, three or four weeks of steady running is enough.
