Sea Colony Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk

Sea Colony Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk takes place in Bethany Beach, Delaware, on Sunday, November 29, 2026. The event offers a single format, a 5K (3.1 miles) run/walk starting at 9:00 a.m., and it is put on by the Seashore Striders. Set at Sea Colony on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, it gives you one last holiday-weekend reason to get outside at the beach.

A run/walk 5K is as approachable as racing gets: you can go for a fast time, jog it with visiting relatives, or walk the whole way. If you are building toward it from scratch, three sessions a week for four to six weeks, alternating running and walking until you can cover the distance without stopping, is plenty. Runners with more experience can use it as a sharp effort to close out the fall season before winter training begins. Bring a warm layer for a late-November morning on the Delaware coast and do a short jog before the 9:00 a.m. start.
