The Turkey Trot is one of the biggest fundraisers for Mile High United Way, the first United Way
in the world. Founded 137 years ago, the organization supports families throughout Metro
Denver by working to give all children a strong start, supporting education and academic
success, and creating economic opportunity for all. Last year, Mile High United Way invested
$25.5 million in our community and helped more than 668,700 people.
Race registration includes a collectible t-shirt, personalized race bib and access to pre- and
post-race festivities. Families can also register for the 1-mile Family Fun Run and meet Gobbles
the Turkey in the Lil’ Gobbler Family Fun Zone. Registration is also available for four-legged
family members. Pet bandanas are available while supplies last. After the race, participants can
enjoy the Finish Village, which will feature the Great Divide Beer Garden and live entertainment.
