Turkey Shuffle - Waco

Turkey Shuffle - Waco takes place in Waco, Texas, on November 15, 2026. The program opens with a Kids Dash of about 50 meters at 8:55 AM, then the 1 Mile Run, the 5K Run (3.1 miles), and the 10K Run (6.2 miles) all go off at 9:00 AM. It's a Thanksgiving-season event with a distance for every member of the family, from toddlers in the dash to adults racing the 10K.

If you've been running regularly through the fall, the 10K is the distance to test yourself on: run the first two miles conservatively, then settle into a steady effort and finish strong. The 5K suits anyone newer to racing or looking for a short, hard effort, and it's achievable after three to four weeks of running three times a week. The mile is a nice first step for kids who've outgrown the dash and for adults who want to try a race without committing to a 5K. With three distances starting together at 9:00 AM, arrive early enough to find your place in the right group.
