The Best Turkey Trot Outfits for Runners

Find turkey trot costume ideas for everyone! We’ve compiled a guide that will help you put together the perfect turkey trot outfits so your Thanksgiving race costume is your best one yet! Whether you are trying to hit a new PR or win the costume contest (or both), we’ve got you covered for your turkey trot this year!

As runners, we already know that Thanksgiving is THE day for road races and by far the most popular day for runners. Maybe we’re compensating for the impending calories, but more often than not, we’re just excited about another year of trotting with the turkeys (well, maybe a little bit of both).

If you’ve completed a few official road races, then you know that fun outfits and crazy costumes are always an option, but turkey trots take that notion to the max! If you were looking for an excuse to get a little bit wild, then take this as the sign to go all-in on your race this year! A colorful tutu is a staple for a festive run!



Turkey Trot

A colorful tutu makes an awesome accent piece to an outfit! To really make a statement, opt for a turkey feather tutu or a goofy turkey face tutu! Once you add in some bright Thanksgiving socks, you’re well on your way to an outfit that stands out in any crowd, even one as wild as a turkey trot!

A full turkey costume is a huge (and cumbersome) commitment, so we’ve also thought of some ways you can gobble your way to the finish line, without feeling like you’re cooked! Adding one or two feather boas and the perfect hat can take your outfit over the edge! Mix a combo of red, orange, yellow, or brown boas to have some feathery fun! Our super popular turkey knit hat will have you clucking all the way to the finish line!

Don’t forget a cute Thanksgiving-themed tee to complete your outfit! Choose from our exclusive holiday designs in a variety of colors so you can be sure to find the perfect shirt for race day. These t-shirts are so comfy, you’ll want to wear them through dinner as well!

If you’re a bit more subdued or you’re striving for a PR but still want to get in the Thanksgiving spirit, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered too! Our Thanksgiving shop, while fun and festive, is designed by and for runners, so we always keep performance in mind! A performance visor or hat is a great way to keep sweat and hair out of your face, while still staying festive!

Our cotton tees are super comfy and great to move in, but all of our Thanksgiving designs are also available on our performance shirts and tank tops in men’s and women’s sizing! These athletic shirts offer moisture-wicking, UV 40+ protection so you never have to sacrifice safety or performance to dress up for a holiday race! For Thanksgiving, especially, you don’t want to miss out on a great pair of joggers, either. These are perfect for a chilly morning run in November, but comfy enough to be your eating pants when you’re at dinner later! Our men’s and women’s joggers also offer minimalist design options so you can choose a pair with some subtle flair or even a tiny brag (looking at you, marathoners!)

Not sure where to begin? Check out our Thanksgiving virtual races! Running a virtual race on your own terms and your own schedule is especially helpful if you’re hosting dinner later and are too worried about juggling a turkey, five sides, and two desserts! Plus, the accompanying race swag is a great starter kit to an awesome festive outfit!
