2026 GVSU Turkey Trot

Ready, set, trot! The Turkey Trot 5K returns to the scenic Grand Valley campus for its 10th anniversary on November 22nd! Don't miss your chance to blitz through a blazing flat and fast course, get cheered on by dedicated marshals, and cross the finish line under the stunning blue arch. Not only will you snag a cool commemorative t-shirt, but you'll also be jogging for a fantastic cause – supporting the GVSU Run Club and student-athlete passions. Top three trotters in each age group will earn shiny medals, so whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned runner, gear up for an unforgettable day!

Remember, early birds get their packets stress-free on November 21st or the morning of the race. Plus, free parking in Lot H ensures you're only sprinting on the track. Mark your calendars for a 9 am start time and let's make those pre-Thanksgiving calories count!
