Kingston Resorts Turkey Trot 5K

Kingston Resorts Turkey Trot 5K takes place in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on November 21, 2026. The single event is a 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 9:00 a.m., held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving under the Kingston Resorts name. It is a straightforward holiday-season 5K on the South Carolina coast.

Whether you are visiting Myrtle Beach for the weekend or you live nearby, a 5K is easy to fold into your plans without much disruption. Runners aiming for a personal best should keep some faster running in their schedule during the six weeks before, such as short repeats at 5K effort once a week, plus one steady longer run. If the goal is simply to finish and enjoy the morning, consistency matters more than intensity: three easy runs or run-walks a week, and you will be fine. Have a light breakfast a couple of hours before the 9:00 a.m. start and arrive with time to pick up your bib and warm up.
