Remington Turkey Trot 5k Race and Walk

Remington Turkey Trot 5k Race and Walk is held in Remington, Virginia, on November 21, 2026, with the 5K starting at 9:00 a.m. Listed through Fauquier County Parks and Recreation, the event offers a single 3.1-mile distance open to both runners and walkers, making it a classic turkey trot on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

If you have a 5K time in mind, use the last six weeks to keep one interval session and one steady run in your week, and taper the final few days so you arrive fresh. If you are walking, a month of regular brisk walks will make 3.1 miles feel routine, and you will be done in under an hour. A community race like this is also a good first race for kids and teens who can already run for 20 to 30 minutes. Eat a light breakfast a couple of hours before the 9:00 a.m. start and warm up with a few minutes of easy jogging.
