Overview Scottsdale Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving morning 5K fun run followed by a wellness festival. Four Arizona health and wellness organizations created it together: Scottsdale Run Club, Phoenix Run Club, BLKAZRUN and Revival Wellness. Runners finish the 5K and stay for the post-run festival. The 2026 race is the second edition. On site A live DJ plays through the morning, and the festival has a Vendor Village, a cold plunge and sauna, community fitness classes and food trucks. The VIP area serves breakfast and has its own recovery zone and coffee bar. A water station sits on the course. The race page says people can walk it, jog it, race it or push a stroller through it. Audience The event is designed for runners, families and wellness enthusiasts. The four host organizations run weekly events and fitness experiences across Arizona, and the Turkey Trot pulls their communities together on one holiday morning. Track record The first edition had 1,230 race participants and more than 15 vendors and sponsors, and FOX 10 Phoenix and AZFamily 12 News featured it. For the second year the organizers project about 30 partners and vendors. Brand presence One presenting partner carries the event name and sits inside the official event logo. One brand takes over the VIP area, and one wellness brand holds its own footprint in the festival. Other brands set up in the Vendor Village, and the organizers build packages around what a brand needs.
