Mile High United Way Turkey Trot

The Mile High United Way Turkey Trot is a festive Thanksgiving Day running event held in Denver's Washington Park, starting at South High School. Celebrating its 52nd year in 2025, the event features a 4-mile timed race on a relatively flat A to B course, along with a Lil' Gobbler Family Fun Run of just under one mile, perfect for all ages. Participants enjoy pre- and post-race festivities including a Finish Village with sponsor booths, games, a kids' zone, and a craft beer garden for adults.

The event encourages festive attire and welcomes furry friends with special bandanas. Proceeds support local families through education and workforce programs. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
