Turkey Trot Yuma AZ 5K/10K

Turkey Trot Yuma AZ 5K/10K takes place in Yuma, Arizona, on November 8, 2026. The 10K goes off first at 7 a.m., the 5K follows at 7:20 a.m., and the Gobble Wobble kids' 1-mile closes things out at 9 a.m. The early start is the right call in this corner of the desert, where the temperature climbs quickly once the sun is up.

Staggering the two main distances 20 minutes apart keeps the course clear, and the separate kids' race means the whole family has something to enter. For the 10K, a month with one weekly session of longer intervals, such as 4 x 1,200 meters at goal pace, will give you the specific fitness the distance needs; the 5K rewards the same work in shorter, faster doses.
