Thanksgiving Gobble Trot Run 5K/10K/13.1 SACRAMENTO

Thanksgiving Gobble Trot Run 5K/10K/13.1 SACRAMENTO is held in Sacramento, California, on November 28, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and a one-mile family fun run all leave at 7:30 a.m. This is a community event first, open to runners and walkers of any level, with optional timing for anyone who wants a result. Entry brings a race shirt, a finisher medal and other items posted to your address, and there is a virtual option.

If you already have a spring marathon on the calendar, the half here works as an early-build fitness marker: run it at controlled effort and use the number to set your winter paces. If you are newer to racing, the 10K is the more useful step, and eight to ten weeks of running three or four times a week will get you there in good shape.
