🏃♂️ Race Description
Back for its 12th year, the Turkey Trot 5k is returning to Grand Valley's beautiful campus! Join us the Saturday before Thanksgiving, November 22nd, to burn some pre-thanksgiving calories and earn a commemorative t-shirt (and PR). This year's course includes a start and finish under the iconic blue transformational link, a flat and paved (fast) course, and course marshals at nearly every turn. Best of all, proceeds benefit the GVSU Run Club, helping support student-athletes and their passion for running. So come trot for a cause!
