The morning


There’s a place for you at the starting line.

From the lawn to Camelback views to the festival finish — here’s how Thanksgiving morning actually goes.

  1. Crowds gathering on the Scottsdale Turkey Trot lawn before the race

    Show up

    Thanksgiving morning in Scottsdale. Friends finding friends, kids bouncing, the lawn already loud before anyone starts moving.

  2. Racers packed at the Scottsdale Turkey Trot start line

    Start line

    Walk it. Jog it. Run it. Push the stroller. First 5K or chasing a PR — there’s a place for you at the starting line.

  3. Runners on the Scottsdale Turkey Trot course with desert park views

    The 5K

    A beautiful, intentionally designed course through Scottsdale with Camelback Mountain in view the whole way.

  4. Finish-line celebration at the Scottsdale Turkey Trot

    Finish

    Cross the line — then don’t go home. The finish turns into the morning you actually came for.

  5. Finish-line wellness festival with a live DJ under palm trees

    Festival

    Live DJ, sauna, cold plunge, food, recovery, vendors, arts and crafts — four communities sharing one lawn.

  6. Outdoor recovery and hangout under palm trees after the race

    Hang

    Stay. Recover. Catch your people. Move together before we gather together.

Who We Are

Four communities. One morning.

Scottsdale Turkey Trot is all about coming together — uniting Scottsdale Run Club, Phoenix Run Club, Black AZ Run, and Revival Wellness to host the most energetic, community-driven Thanksgiving morning event in Arizona.

Not a race company that picked Thanksgiving off a calendar. Four communities that already run and recover together, putting on the morning they wanted to go to.
