Each November thousands of people gather on Thanksgiving morning around Wisconsin to run in anticipation of a big Thanksgiving meal, known as Turkey Trot. The 14th Annual Festival Foods Turkey Trot benefits the Boys & Girls Club and YMCA in communities Festival Foods serves. Both organizations provide volunteers in return for monetary proceeds. In the past 10+ years, the Festival Foods Turkey Trot has donated more than $3,280,000! Proceeds of the event support programming for kids and families, summer programs, camps, and more in our community.
This fun event is great for the whole family and allows you to choose a 5-mile run or a 2-mile walk beginning from your home or destination of your choosing. Each participant receives a high-quality long-sleeved shirt, FREE Festival Foods pumpkin pie, and a single-serve coffee.
