Burlington Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk

Burlington Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk takes place in Burlington, Wisconsin, on Thanksgiving morning, November 26, 2026, with a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 8:30 a.m. The event is closely tied to myTEAM TRIUMPH, an organization that pairs Angels, able-bodied athletes, with Captains, people with disabilities, so they can complete the course together. You can register in either role, and past and present participants are invited to share their race photos in the myTEAM TRIUMPH Photo Circle.

Because this is a run/walk built around inclusion, pace matters less than showing up. If you sign on as an Angel, expect to move at your Captain's rhythm and to spend the morning supporting rather than racing, so comfortable shoes and warm layers count more than a fast time. If you are running the 5K on your own, it still works as a steady tempo effort or a first race: four to six weeks of three easy runs a week, one of them building toward 30 minutes, is enough preparation.
