AdventHealth Avista Louisville Turkey Trot

Louisville, Colorado Turkey Trot 2026

The 13th Annual AdventHealth Avista Louisville Turkey Trot began as a way to collect food and donations for our local food bank, Community Food Share, while bringing our community together on Thanksgiving morning.

As the event grew, the Turkey Trot became a public benefit corporation, allowing us to operate with the purpose of creating social good and supporting our community in a responsible, sustainable way.
