TURKEY TROT STL | DOWNTOWN
RUN.GOBBLE.NAP.
NOVEMBER 25, 2021
Thanksgiving Day is the most popular race day in America. It's the perfect day to come together to benefit ourselves, our families, and our communities. Start a new Thanksgiving tradition by running or walking in your local, family-friendly Turkey Trot STL 5K. An active morning will help balance the afternoon's calorie intake and your participation will benefit those less fortunate by supporting local food pantries.
