2026 ASTORIA TURKEY TROT
How It Started
What started in 2019 as a small community run organized by local moms has grown into one of Astoria’s favorite Thanksgiving traditions — the Astoria Turkey Trot.
From those early mornings in Astoria Park, where check-in was run from the back of a car, this grassroots event has evolved into a joyful, family-friendly run that drew over 300 participants last year — and continues to grow each season as more families and local businesses get involved.

This Year's Mission
Now in its 8th year, the Turkey Trot continues to celebrate what makes our community special: togetherness, movement and local pride.
Last year we set our first-ever fundraising goal, and with a record 300+ trotters and 21 local sponsors, we raised $4,000 for athletic programs in District 30 public schools. This year, we’re aiming even higher.
