Course & Travel Notes

The Downtown Denton Turkey Trot kicks off at 8:45 AM on November 26th, 2026, so you'll want to get there early since sunrise doesn't happen until 7:09 AM. Denton sits at a moderate elevation of 627 feet, so no major adjustments needed there. If you're flying in, you'll land at Perot Field/Fort Worth Alliance Airport (AFW), which is about 19 miles from the venue—pretty convenient for race morning. Pack layers since late November weather typically brings highs around 66°F and lows in the mid-40s, and there's about a 20% chance of rain, so a light jacket and maybe a rain shell wouldn't hurt.
