Trax4Max Turkey Trot 2026

The race.

The Trax4Max Turkey Trot takes place on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, November 26, 2026, in downtown Florence, AL, starting in front of First Baptist Church. Participants can choose between a 5K (USATF certified, starting at 8:00 AM) or a 1-mile family fun run (starting at 8:10 AM). Race packets are available for early pickup at Solid Rock Running Company on November 25 from 10 AM to 6 PM, or on race morning beginning at 7:00 AM. Runners who register by November 5 receive a guaranteed race shirt; additional shirts are available afterward on a first-come, first-served basis. The 5K awards trophies to overall top finishers and age-group winners (ages 0–70+), plus medals to top three finishers in each five-year age division. Two aid stations provide hydration, snacks, electrolytes, and first aid support along the course. Proceeds benefit the YMCA of the Shoals.
