About this 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's attended by many families who want to kick their holiday off with some exercise, friendly competition and camaraderie.

Hosted by FundRuns, all profits go to Share the Harvest food pantry and the Camdenton Cross Country team.
