Q: Why did you cancel the in-person event and go virtual only?
A: Our team was in regular communication with city and county health officials during the past few months and we have reached the time when a decision needed to be made. It has become clear that we will not be issued a permit for our event, in accordance with the State of Texas, Dallas County, and City of Dallas mandates that are currently in effect.
Q: What is the "Virtual Turkey Trot"?
A: The "virtual" part means that instead of running in an organized, hosted event on Thanksgiving morning, you can run or walk a 5K or 8-mile distance from anywhere, and enter your results online between November 20 and November 29 to be a part of the virtual leader board. We will also focus on creating a fun and engaging virtual experience for all of our participants. LEARN MORE HERE

Q: I registered for the virtual event before October 7. Do I need to do anything?
A: We will send additional information to everyone that registered prior to October 7, with info on how to get the most out of your virtual experience.
Q: What's the swag?
A: All registrations for any category made prior to October 7 will receive the traditional 100% cotton, long-sleeved Trot shirt, a race bib, and a finisher medal. All virtual registrations made after October 7, the shirt and race bib are included and a limited supply of medals will be available for an additional $5.
