Des Moines Turkey Trot
Named as one of the best Turkey Trot’s in the country, and ‘Top Trot’ in Iowa by Runner’s World Magazine 5 years in a row, The Des Moines Turkey Trot is Iowa’s largest Thanksgiving Day tradition.
Join in this holiday in downtown Des Moines, or ‘virtually anywhere,’ for our 5K, 5 Mile, and Tot Trot events. This is indeed an event for runners, walkers and trotters!
The 2024 beanie and ornament are revealed! The rest is coming soon. We are coming back with our favorites with the all-purpose shopper bag, official race bib, and new from 2023 the finisher ornament at the finish line. All items below are included with every 5 Mile / 5K registration (Tot Trot will have knit hat, bib, and medal.) Be on the look out for additional festive items for purchase during the registration process including this year’s t-shirt, socks, cooked turkey hats and out favorite ‘Cousin Eddy’ trapper hat.
