AdventHealth Avista Louisville Turkey Trot

AdventHealth Avista Louisville Turkey Trot takes place in Louisville, Colorado, on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026, with a 5K road race (3.1 miles) starting at 9:00 AM. The event is a community fundraiser for Community Food Share, the local food bank, and every entry fee goes toward that mission. The morning includes pre-race stretching, post-race refreshments, low registration fees, and accessible parking to make participation as easy as possible.

Louisville sits at over 5,000 feet, so if you are coming from lower elevation, expect the effort to feel harder than your usual 5K pace suggests, and adjust accordingly. Cold, dry air is typical for late November along the Front Range, which makes a proper warm-up more important than usual. This is an approachable first race for beginners with a few weeks of easy running behind them, and a quick, feel-good effort for regular runners before the holiday meal.
