SOME's Trot for Hunger
November 26, 2026
Freedom Plaza | Washington, DC
D.C.’s largest and only Turkey Trot is more than a race—it’s a tradition of compassion and community. On Thanksgiving morning, join thousands of neighbors at Freedom Plaza for SOME’s 25th Annual Trot for Hunger 5K and Little Turkey 1-Miler. Whether you’re chasing a personal best, walking with family, or cheering from the sidelines, every stride fuels change. Together, we’ll transform a holiday run into hope for our community—supporting meals, housing, healthcare, and job training for those most in need.
In-Person Race & Festival:
Join us at Freedom Plaza on November 26, 2026 - Thanksgiving morning - for a timed 5K, the Little Turkey 1-Miler, and a family-friendly finisher festival!
Virtual Race:
From November 1-30, run a 5K from your neighborhood or local park while raising funds and spreading awareness of SOME's mission! Help us reach all 50 states and expand our global participation!
