About this race
Gobble, Wobble & Run! Thanksgiving Day
Before you gobble up the turkey, gobble up a few miles! Join us for a festive Turkey Trot 5K that’s all about kicking off Thanksgiving with a little movement, a lot of fun, and plenty of community spirit.
Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a speedy walker, or just here to earn your pumpkin pie, this 5K is the perfect way to start your Thanksgiving morning. Bring your family, grab your friends, lace up those sneakers, and get ready to run, walk, trot, or wobble your way to the finish line!
Every registered participant will receive a Turkey Trot T-shirt, with winner and age-group awards for those looking to add a little friendly competition to their morning. And because no Turkey Trot is complete without a little post-race fuel, snacks and water will be waiting for you at the finish line.
Come for the 5K. Leave with a little extra room for Thanksgiving dinner. 😉
So grab your flock and join us for a Thanksgiving tradition in the making!
This year, all donations are going to the Jasper Newton Foundation Community Funds - and every dollar will be tripled! $1 becomes $3 with your race registration AND any donations you make. These funds are used for foundation community grants for local nonprofits each year.
**You MUST Register by 11/5 to be guaranteed a T-shirt.
Run. Trot. Gobble. Repeat.
7:30 am CST - Registration
