Turkey Trails - Fort Worth

Turkey Trails - Fort Worth is held in Haltom City, in the Fort Worth area of Texas, on November 15, 2026. All five events start at 8:00 a.m.: the Turkey Trails Half Marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K, a 5K, a one-mile run and a Kids Dash for children 10 and under. The Thanksgiving-themed morning covers several age brackets, with electronic timing, live results and free race photos on the timed distances. Entry includes a branded shirt, a custom bib and a medal, treats wait at the finish line, and a virtual option is available if you cannot make the trip.

Everything starts together, which makes the day easy to plan for a group split across distances. The mile and the Kids Dash are there for children and first-timers, the 5K and 10K work as a low-stakes fitness test, and the half marathon is the one worth preparing for properly: a 12- to 14-week block with one long run per week, built up to around 11 miles, covers it. If you have already run 13.1 before and want a faster one, add a single tempo session each week at your target pace.
