5K Walk/Run
Event Description
Description:
Back for its 12th year, the Turkey Trot 5k is returning to Grand Valley's beautiful campus! Join us the Saturday before Thanksgiving, November 22nd, to burn some pre-thanksgiving calories and earn a commemorative t-shirt (and PR). This year's course includes a start and finish under the iconic blue transformational link, a flat and paved (fast) course, and course marshals at nearly every turn. Best of all, proceeds benefit the GVSU Run Club, helping support student-athletes and their passion for running. So come trot for a cause!

FAQs
Nope -- you're welcome to finish at your own pace. That said, course marshals will step away after one hour, and finish times may not be officially recorded after that.
Start and finish are at the blue transformational link (see map).
Everyone that signs up before November 1st is guaranteed a shirt (after that -- first come, first served). This year, medals will only be given to the top two in each age category...but stay tuned for next year.
Yes!
Free parking is in lot H.
Yes, absolutely! We love seeing families out on the course. The route is flat and fully paved, making it stroller-friendly from start to finish.
