About the race

The 2025 GVSU Turkey Trot is a 5K walking and running race on Grand Valley State University’s Allendale campus in Allendale, Michigan. Back for its 12th year, the event is staged the Saturday before Thanksgiving and aims to burn pre‑Thanksgiving calories while earning a commemorative shirt. The flat, paved, fast course starts and finishes beneath the campus’s iconic blue transformational link, with course marshals at nearly every turn.

Medals are awarded to the top three finishers in each age group, and proceeds support the GVSU Run Club, aiding student-athletes’ running pursuits. Race location: 1 Campus Dr, Allendale, MI 49401. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
