Omaha Turkey Trot 5K 5K Kid's Division Fun Run (11 Years and Under)

About this race

The Omaha Turkey Trot 5K, held on November 28, 2024, in Omaha, NE (68102), is a beloved Thanksgiving Day tradition that includes both a 5K race for all ages and a dedicated Fun Run for children 11 years and under. While specific historical details on this event's origins are not provided, Turkey Trots are generally well-established community races that have been part of holiday celebrations for decades, encouraging active participation and festive spirit. Participants can expect a family-friendly atmosphere with a focus on fun and fitness. The 5K course is typically run on paved surfaces, often through local parks or on established running paths, offering a generally flat and accessible terrain suitable for runners and walkers of all abilities. The November date means participants should anticipate cool to crisp autumn weather, with potential for wind and the need for layered clothing. The Kid's Division Fun Run provides a shorter, non-competitive option for younger participants, ensuring everyone in the family can join in the Thanksgiving Day festivities and burn off some pre-feast energy.
