13th Annual AdventHealth Avista Louisville Turkey Trot
This event began as a way to collect food and donations for the local food bank, Community Food Share, while bringing the community together on Thanksgiving morning. It has grown into a public benefit corporation focused on creating social good and supporting the community.
Event Details:
- Date: November 26, 2026
- Race Start: 9:00 a.m. MST

Registration: Entry fees and food donations directly support Community Food Share. Last year's race raised over $92,000. Entry fees are kept low to be accessible, with early pricing offering significant discounts. The event skips bibs, shirts, and chip timing to maximize donations.
