About the race
The Adirondack Health 5k Turkey Trot is an annual Thanksgiving Day event held in Lake Placid, NY, featuring a flat 5K walk/run course around Mirror Lake. The 16th edition in 2025 starts at the Beach House and welcomes participants of all ages, with kids 10 and under running free and receiving prizes. Runners are encouraged to bring three or more non-perishable food items to support local food pantries and Adirondack Health's Fit for Life Program.
Prizes are awarded to the top male and female finishers, and a special challenge involves beating a mystery Turkey Runner for additional recognition. The event fosters a festive, community-oriented atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
