About This Race

The Chi Town Turkey Trot is a chip-timed 5K and 10K held on Thanksgiving morning along the Chicago Lakefront Trail. Both courses run entirely on the Lakefront Trail and sidewalks, and runners are greeted by Do-Rite donuts, a finisher medal, beer, and hot apple cider at the finish line. Proceeds benefit LUNGevity, and participants choose a long-sleeve t-shirt or fleece pullover.
