Armstrong County Turkey Trot

Armstrong County Turkey Trot is run in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, on November 22, 2026. A 100-meter kids' race opens the morning at 8:55 a.m., the half marathon (13.1 miles) starts five minutes later at 9:00 a.m., and the 5K goes at 9:30 a.m. It is a compact schedule built around a single start area, and the whole event is over within a few hours.

If the half marathon is your goal, twelve weeks of steady training with a weekly long run taken out to 10 or 11 miles is the usual recipe, and practising an even pace on your solo runs will pay off more than any single hard session. The 5K is the better pick if you are new to racing or bringing children who want to run the 100 meters first, since those two starts sit more than half an hour apart and leave time to move between them.
