2026 41st Shottenkirk Fort Bend Kia SUGAR LAND TURKEY TROT

About This Event

• Join us: for the 41st Shottenkirk Fort Bend Kia SUGAR LAND TURKEY TROT, in honor of former race director Andy Stewart. Andy’s family has continued the tradition of this Thanksgiving Day race as a tribute to all Andy did for the running community and his support of local charities.
• Family Tradition: This event is a great local family tradition on Thanksgiving morning. Come run with us on a fast course, with a fast downhill first mile through the beautiful, quiet, safe Sugar Creek subdivision. A great PR course!
