Thornton Turkey Trot

Stride into the season at the 56th annual Thornton Turkey Trot! Lace-up for an exhilarating morning that starts with an 8:00 AM packet pick-up and unfolds into a 9:00 AM 1.5-mile Kids Run, followed by a 9:30 AM Community 5k. A cherished tradition since '68, this event isn't just a race; it's a pre-Thanksgiving ritual that unites the best of the south suburbs' runners. Go for glory in the High School Team competition or run for a cause with proceeds aiding the Winged Foot Foundation's mission to support athletic and academic pursuits in Chicago.

You're not just earning your turkey dinner – every finisher will walk away with a medal, while the fastest runners across numerous age categories will nab additional accolades. Run, cheer, and give back—a perfect start to your Thanksgiving!
