46th Annual Mile High United Way Turkey Trot

2021 PACKET PICKUP is at BOULDER RUNNING COMPANY (Cherry Creek)

Tuesday 10AM-6PM

Wednesday 10AM-2PM

In its 46th year, this fun Thanksgiving tradition draws more than 10,000 people to Denver’s beautiful Washington Park for a four-mile run and walk supporting Mile High United Way’s work in the community.

All proceeds from the event support Mile High United Way's fight for the education, health, and financial stability for everyone in our community. To learn more about our work, and to get involved in other ways, please visit: unitedwaydenver.org.

Event Features

Entry fee includes an awesome, soft, collectible t-shirt, bib with timing tag, and great pre- and post-race expos. The first 9,500 runners will receive a t-shirt, so take advantage of our many early registration opportunities in the months leading up to the race to ensure you get one for you and your family. Bib and t-shirt race packets are available for delivery (for a nominal charge). We will also be hosting a pre-race day pickup, and you’ll be able to pick-up and register on race day too.

Our Start and Finish Villages will be packed with Mile High United Way partners and sponsors, offering goodies and fun handouts for all – stay tuned all season long to learn who has signed on and the fun offerings they’ll be sharing with you.

The 2019 Mile High United Way Turkey Trot t-shirt is here!

Corral Placement - 4 Mile Run/Walk

Your Safety and enjoyment of the Mile High United Way Turkey Trot are our number one priority. To ensure this, we will utilize a corral assignment system for all participants. Your corral placement will depend on the selected estimated per mile time you will run or walk the event. Don't worry, your official time will not start until you cross the start line.

We know many of you will want to participate with friends and family, so just be sure to select the pace per mile of your slowest person in your group to be placed in the same corral. If you are not in the same corral, no worries, you can move back to a later corral, you just cannot move forward to the faster corrals.

Strollers and your well mannered leashed K9 friends are more than welcome. For your safety, the safety of others, and your K9 friends, you will be assigned to the last corrals.

Quarter Mile Family Fun-Run – a shorter path going partially around Grasmere Lake.
