Ten Trails Active Club 5k Turkey Trot

Ten Trails Active Club 5k Turkey Trot takes place in Black Diamond, Washington, on November 26, 2026, with an 8:30 a.m. start on Thanksgiving morning. The event offers a single 5K (3.1 miles) and welcomes participants of all levels. It is a community-run affair: timing is by hand and the course is open, meaning roads and paths are not closed to other users. Snacks and coffee are served after the run, and a raffle gives you a chance to win Thanksgiving desserts.

Hand timing and an open course make this a relaxed outing rather than a certified PR race, so it suits families, walkers, and runners who want a social effort before the holiday meal. Stay alert on shared roads and keep to the side when traffic passes. If you are in the middle of winter training, use it as a moderate tempo run rather than an all-out race. Beginners can be ready with six weeks of three easy runs per week, building one run to 30 minutes. Dress for a cool, likely damp western Washington morning.
