The Affton-Lemay Chamber of Commerce is hosting its first annual Turkey Trot 5K on Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at Jefferson Barracks Park. It is a Thanksgiving-season kickoff run for the community, timed just before the holiday week.
Event details
The 5K starts at 8:30 a.m. at Jefferson Barracks Park, a large south county park with paved trails and open fields. The chamber organizes the race as a community event for runners and walkers of all paces, and it is a good reason to be outside before the holiday rush.
