Grab your running shoes (and your turkey hats!) — the 24th Annual Loveland Turkey Trot is back! Voted the #1 Charity Walk/Run by NOCO Style in 2024, this beloved Thanksgiving tradition is hosted by McKee Wellness Foundation.
The fun kicks off at 8:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning at Banner McKee Medical Center (2000 N Boise Ave, Loveland, CO). The stroller- and dog-friendly 5K winds through the beautiful Boyd State Park trail, making it the perfect way to start your holiday with fresh air, laughter, and community spirit.
Every step you take makes a difference! In 2025, all proceeds benefit McKee Wellness Foundation programs that support cancer patients, veterans, crisis health and dental care, and access to essential health and wellness serving our neigbors in need in Weld and Lamrier counties in Northern Colorado.
Important Note: For safety and insurance purposes, all participants (runners, walkers, strollers, wagons, and pups) must be registered and wearing a bib.
Start your Thanksgiving with fun, fitness, and a great cause — because at the Turkey Trot, you “trot first, turkey later!”
