The Feed Your Soul Turkey Trot 5K, billed by its organizers as Wheat Ridge’s only Thanksgiving race, starts at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 21, 2026 at Prospect Park in Wheat Ridge. It is open to runners and walkers of all ages, and every dollar raised goes to the Feed Your Soul Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose Feed the Future backpack program and Community Table provide meals for local kids so that, in the organizers’ words, no child faces the weekend with hunger.
Registration is $39.44 (fees included) from Oct. 31 through Nov. 20 and $44.79 on race day; youth 12 and under are $20 at checkout. Entry includes a finisher medal, a goodie bag, a unisex T-shirt and a voucher for free classes at Feed Your Soul Fitness. The top male, female and non-binary finishers each win $100, and there are age-group awards. A mobile sauna from Cedar and Steam will be on site after the race.
