America's Trot for Hunger

America's Trot for Hunger is DC's largest and only Turkey Trot, dedicated to fighting poverty and homelessness. The in-person event takes place at Freedom Plaza, 1325 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC, on Thanksgiving morning, featuring a timed or untimed 5K and a Little Turkey 1-Miler, plus a family-friendly finish festival. A Virtual 5K runs November 1–30 for remote participants.

A pet competition — Best Dressed 'Turkey' — adds a playful element. The course is described as the best course in the U.S., and the event emphasizes community involvement and fundraising across all 50 states and beyond. Together. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
