Gobble Wobble Turkey Trot 5K/10K/13.1 CHICAGO/EVANSTON

Join us in our annual Thanksgiving Turkey Trot Run, where you'll be running off the Turkey and all year long! After all, we run so we can feast. This fun community event offers 5K, 10K, and Half-Marathon distances. Set a goal, bring your friends and family, and have a great time this Thanksgiving Holiday!

Event Overview

The run will sell out quickly! Prices will increase as waves fill up. If waves are sold out, you can sign up for the virtual run option or waitlist. This small, private group run is capped at just 15-20 participants per wave. All paces and ages (under 18 with guardian) are welcome - Run or Walk!

What You Get

Participants will receive a running T-shirt, finisher's towel or giveaway, finisher's medal, and a training pack with free giveaways. Optional upgrades include technical running shirts and a free trial of Runna's Coaching Program.

Packet Pickup

No hassle of picking up packets required! Swag will be shipped directly to your address. Race bibs are provided on race day.

Race Updates

Final updates will be emailed the Wednesday before the race with details and course maps. Last-minute registrations are accepted, but shirts may arrive after the run.

Virtual Run Option

Our Virtual Run uniquely offers a Training Pack with Digital Tools to support your run. Virtual runs can be done anytime and anywhere. After finishing, submit your results to receive your medal!

Run for Others

Every year we aim to provide stipends, scholarships, or free entries to those who can’t afford registration. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to participate in a fun, community run.
