November 28, 2024 Join us for the annual Muskegon Turkey Trot!
The Muskegon Turkey Trot 5K has been a community tradition for over a decade. This family-friendly fun run & walk is the perfect way to jumpstart Thanksgiving morning. Get festive, wear a costume and earn that extra slice of pie!
Registration Registration is available now. Registration is 100% online. Even on race morning! Make the line move quickly and register in advance! Register here.
We request a $10 donation per participant along with a food item for Kid's Food Basket wish list to participate in the Turkey Trot. The race is not chip-timed but there will be a clock at the finish line. The race will take place no matter what the weather is! Rain, Snow or Shine- we will be out there! We're sorry but dogs are not allowed at the Turkey Trot (insurance purposes).
We are a group of new and experienced runners, joggers, and walkers, looking to stay healthy, challenge ourselves, and find fellowship with others looking to get outside and have a good time doing it.
We meet every Wednesday at Pigeon Hill Brewing Company (895 4th Street, Downtown Muskegon). Announcements start at 6:20 pm, followed by a run/jog/walk at 6:30 pm. New runners please arrive by 6:15 pm to sign a waiver.
