Palatine Park District Turkey Trot

The Palatine Park District Turkey Trot is an annual Thanksgiving Day event held in Palatine, Illinois, at the Harper College Health and Recreation Center. Celebrating its 44th year, the race offers a festive and family-friendly atmosphere with multiple distance options: a 2-mile run/walk, a 5-mile run/walk, and the Sammy Scurry 100-yard kids dash. Participants can enjoy a fun way to burn calories before the holiday feast.

The event also supports the community by partnering with The Harbour to collect donations for local youth and young mothers experiencing homelessness. Course maps and packet pick-up details are available to registered runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
