Turkey Trot Victoria

Turkey Trot Victoria is a Thanksgiving Day race for runners and families in Victoria, Texas, on November 26, 2026. The 5K starts at 7:30 a.m. and is chip-timed, with results broken down by age group. Participants can choose from several event options, and discounted entry is available for youth and for members of the Victoria Area Road Runners.

Chip timing and age-group categories make this a proper race for anyone who wants an official result or a shot at placing in their division, while the family-friendly setup keeps it open to walkers and kids. The early 7:30 a.m. start keeps conditions cool for a road 5K in South Texas and leaves the rest of the day free. If you are racing, six to eight weeks of consistent running with a weekly interval or tempo session will prepare you for a fast 3.1 miles; if you are participating for fun, a few weeks of easy running or walking is all you need. Plan to arrive early for check-in and a short warm-up.
