Join in for the 13th Annual Wauconda Turkey Trot!

Star Charities is excited to announce the 2023 Wauconda Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Morning, Thursday, November 23rd at 9:00am on Main Street in Wauconda!

EVENT DETAILS:

Participants can register for the 4 mile chip timed run around Bangs Lake or the 2 mile fun run/walk down Main Street. Participants will receive a t-shirt and race bib. Tees and race bibs can be picked up from the lower level of Main Street Center (118 S. Main Street, Wauconda) on Monday (11/20), Tuesday (11/21) & Wednesday (11/22) from 5-7pm or Thursday morning starting at 7:30am.


There is early bird pricing for those registering by November 1st! In addition, for families with children who want a tee shirt, we have added a children's rate. Young children or those not wanting a tee shirt are welcome to join their families at no additional cost.


Once online registration closes (the day before the event) participants can register in person at Main Street Center (118 S. Main Street, Wauconda) on race day Thursday, starting at 7:30am.

All the proceeds from this event will benefit the Wauconda/Island Lake Food Pantry. Star Charities has raised over $150,000 for the food pantry from the past 12 years’ events!


Get your running gear on, or some silly turkey attire, and enjoy Thanksgiving with us! All participants will receive a tee shirt, finisher's medal and there will be snacks after the race. Trophies will be awarded to the fastest 4 mile runners in each age category, as well as for "Most Turkey Trot Spirit" and "Best Costume"
