P3R, the organization behind the Pittsburgh Marathon, has opened registration for its annual Turkey Trot race on Thanksgiving Day.
Runners can line up at the starting line on Nov. 26 at 7:30 a.m. for the 5-mile race and the “Double Gobble:” a five-miler plus a 5K. The regular 5K begins at 8:30 a.m., and the 1-mile fun run begins at 9:30 a.m.
Registration for adults ranges from $27.49 for the fun run to $93.49 for the Double Gobble. Children between the ages of 5 and 18 will receive a 50% discount, and children under 4 years old can run for free. Participants will earn a medal if they complete their event.
Proceeds will benefit the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank and the YMCA of Greater Pittsburgh’s food pantry programs.
“The Turkey Trot has become a beloved Pittsburgh Thanksgiving tradition because it brings people together for a great cause,” P3R Interim CEO and Board President Bob Shooer said in a release.
“Whether you’re running, walking or cheering from the sidelines, it’s a fun way to start the holiday with family and friends while also giving back to our community.”
P3R has yet to release a course map, although past races have taken place Downtown and on the North Shore. The organization expects approximately 8,500 participants this year, up from 8,000 in 2025.
