2026 Turkey Trot & ThanksLIVING

Thanksgiving Day | Thursday, November 26, 2026

Join us at Luvin Arms Animal Sanctuary for a heartwarming Thanksgiving tradition that celebrates fitness, gratitude, and compassion for all beings!

Lace up for the Turkey Trot! Kick off your Thanksgiving morning with a festive 5K or 1K fun run/walk through our beautiful sanctuary grounds. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or bringing the whole family for some holiday fun, there’s an option for everyone!

Not a runner? No biggie! Grab a General Admission ticket and join us to cheer on the participants, soak up the festive atmosphere, and enjoy a morning filled with community and compassion.

ThanksLiving Feast – 10:15 AM

After the race, stick around for the real stars of the show! At 10:15 AM, join us as we celebrate our rescued turkey residents with a special ThanksLiving feast prepared just for them. Watch these incredible birds enjoy their own delicious spread of fresh veggies, fruits, and favorite treats, and celebrate the lives, personalities, and joy of the turkeys who call Luvin Arms home.

This Thanksgiving, let’s make gratitude about more than what’s on our plates. Come celebrate life, kindness, and the joy of living in harmony with all beings!

Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, you’ll be part of a meaningful holiday tradition that supports a kinder world.
