2026 LOTO Turkey Trot 5k
About the race
The Lake of the Ozarks Turkey Trot 5K is a family tradition held on Thanksgiving morning at Camdenton High School. 2026 will be the 17th year for this event. It is attended by many families who want to start their holiday with exercise, friendly competition and camaraderie.
This year there is also a one mile fun run for kids and adults who do not want to run the full 5K course.
The fun run begins at 7:45 and the 5K at 8:30. Walk-up registration opens at 7:00am.
Hosted by FundRuns, all profits go to the Share the Harvest food pantry and the Camdenton Cross Country team.
