Bank of Ocean City Bethany-Fenwick Turkey Trot

Bank of Ocean City Bethany-Fenwick Turkey Trot takes place in Bethany Beach, Delaware, on Thursday, November 26, 2026, Thanksgiving morning. The event offers a single format, the 2 Mile Run/Walk Turkey Trot (about 3.2 km), which starts at 9:00 a.m. and is open to runners and walkers alike. As the name suggests, the race serves the neighboring Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island communities, with Bank of Ocean City as the presenting sponsor.

Two miles is short enough that you can treat it as a brisk holiday opener rather than a goal race: a couple of easy runs per week in the month beforehand is plenty to enjoy it, and if you already run regularly you can push the pace and use it as a fast tempo effort before the big meal. Walkers are welcome, so it also works as a family outing. Arrive early enough to warm up for ten minutes, since a two-mile race starts fast and there is little time to ease in.
