More Than Miles: A Thanksgiving Tradition That Gives Back
The Turkey Trot is about more than crossing the finish line. It’s about showing up for our community and making a difference together.
As part of our Fill the Table Food Pantry Drive, we encourage participants to bring non-perishable food items to help support local families in need. Add a few extra cans or pantry staples to your grocery cart, bring them along on race morning, and help us spread a little extra gratitude this Thanksgiving.
Every contribution counts, and together, we can help make the holiday season brighter for our neighbors!
One Month to Go. Let’s Make It Count!
Thanksgiving morning can be busy, but starting the day with movement, laughter, and community is a tradition worth making time for. Whether you’re running, walking, cheering on your favorite people, or giving back through our food drive, we can’t wait to celebrate with you.
The countdown is on. The starting line is calling!
Register today and join us for the 2026 Four Lakes Athletic Club Turkey Trot!
Let’s make this Thanksgiving morning one to remember!
