Event overview

The Tom-A-Hawk Turkey Trot is the 5th annual community 5k held in Aurora, Illinois on Saturday, November 22, 2025. The event is a road race that supports two local education charities: the Aurora East Educational Foundation and the A+ Foundation for West Aurora Schools. Entry pricing is age based: $30 for general entry and $25 for ages 1-18. The race uses chip timing and all finishers receive a medal.

Course, registration and race features

For 2025 only the course is modified due to construction on the path. The course starts at Wilder Park Promenade on the west side of the Fox River, heads north about 1.5 miles, makes a U-turn beneath Indian Trail Road, returns south along the west riverbank, crosses Illinois, and finishes just north of Wilder Park Promenade after turning by the pedestrian bridge. Registration requires participants to select a wave based on projected pacing; each wave will be limited to 300 spots. Packet pick-up is held in Parking Lot X in Downtown Aurora. Race giveaways and participant items include a long sleeve performance shirt or, for an additional $5, a hoodie, a finisher medal, chip timing, and one draft beer or non-alcoholic beverage at Two Brothers Roundhouse during the post-race celebration. The event also features several community awards and a post-race gathering at Two Brothers Roundhouse. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
