Run! Turkey Run! - Billings, MT

Run! Turkey Run! - Billings, MT is a Thanksgiving morning event in Billings, Montana, on November 26, 2026. The 5K (3.1 miles) starts at 9:00 AM, and a Street Mile follows at 10:00 AM, so runners can choose one or take on both. The mile is a rare format at a holiday race and gives faster runners a chance to test their speed after the longer event.

Doubling up is a fun challenge: run the 5K at a strong but controlled effort, keep moving between events, and then use the mile for a short, sharp finish. If you are only doing the 5K, treat it as a season-closing effort or an easy holiday jog depending on your training. The mile on its own is a good option for kids or for anyone who wants a quick, fast run. A Montana November is cold, so warm up thoroughly and keep layers on right up to the start.
