Schaumburg Turkey Trot Half Marathon

The Schaumburg Turkey Trot Half Marathon & 5K is a festive running event held in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, typically on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It features multiple race options including a half marathon, a timed 5K, an untimed 5K, and virtual runs for both distances. The event also offers kid-friendly races such as a 5K fun run for children 11 and under and a 100-meter dash for those 8 and under.

Participants receive a finisher medal and a donut at the finish line, adding to the celebratory atmosphere. The race takes place at Ned Brown Meadow Grove and encourages sharing the experience with the hashtag #TurkeyTradition. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
