TTT: Theatre Turkey Trot

TTT: Theatre Turkey Trot invites you to run or walk at Ditto Landing in Huntsville, Alabama, on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026, in support of the Around the Curtain Community Children's Theatre. The main event is the 5K Theatre Turkey Trot at 8:00 a.m., followed by a shorter, more playful 1-mile fun run at 9:00 a.m. Participants are encouraged to wear Thanksgiving-themed costumes, and prizes are awarded in several categories. Proceeds go to the nonprofit children's theater in Huntsville.

The 5K is a road distance that works for beginners, families and competitive runners alike, and the costume encouragement gives it a lighthearted, festival atmosphere rather than a serious racing vibe. The one-mile fun run is ideal for kids and walkers. If you want to run the 5K well, four to six weeks of consistent training with one faster session per week will do the job; otherwise, come for the costumes and the cause and enjoy an easy 3.1 miles.
