About the race
Brainerd Turkey Run is the 16th annual Thanksgiving morning road race in Brainerd, MN, staged at the Brainerd Armory. The event offers a timed 5k and a 1-mile walk, with the 5k route described as Industrial Scenic and stroller-friendly, starting and finishing at the Armory. A lead bicyclist guides the 5k, while volunteers mark the 1-mile loop around nearby streets.
New this year, Gobble for Good raises funds for Shriners Healthcare for Children Twin Cities. Dogs on leashes are welcome; kids 5 and under are free. A virtual option is available, with mailed bibs.
Post-race goodies and photos cap the day; results post online afterward. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
