NEW 5-Mile Course for 2026!
Our 5-Mile trot has a brand-new route! We worked with our community partners at the Fond du Lac Police Department on a route that keeps everyone safe on Thanksgiving morning. It measures 4.7 miles, so consider the missing 0.3 a head start on your pie!
See the 5-Mile Course Route map below.

Parking & Arrival
Please enter Fond du Lac High School from Campus Drive or Prairie Road.
The Luco Road entrance will be closed on race day.
Park in any lot marked P on the map below.

The Festival Foods Turkey Trot starts promptly at 8:00 am!
Please leave the school Commons by 7:45 am to head to your start chute.
The 5-mile and 2-mile have separate courses and start/finish lines.

The 5-mile and 2-mile races have two separate courses and start/finish lines, which are accessible via the school Commons on the North (back) side of the school campus.

Don't forget!
Snacks and your personal pumpkin pie will be available when you finish your walk or run
inside the school Commons where you picked up your bib.

5-Mile Participants	2-Mile Participants
Exiting the High School building's North (back) side, your start/finish line is to the left on the school driveway toward Luco Road.	Exiting the High School building's North (back) side, your start/finish line is immediately across the parking lot.

Additional Notes:

Please seed yourself based on your pace. If you intend to run, line up toward the front by the arch, with walkers and strollers near the back of the corral.

Dog joggers will corral adjacent to the start chute and begin after the last participant has crossed the start line. The separation is to be respectful of anyone who might be fearful of dogs.

Dog Joggers will corral adjacent to the 2-Mile start chute and begin after the last participant has crossed the start line.

Dogs are not allowed inside any buildings during bib and t-shirt pick-up or on race morning, so please plan accordingly for your furry friends!
Dogs will head out on the 2-Mile course after all other participants have crossed the start line.
Dogs are allowed on the 2-Mile course only; any runners on the 5-Mile course with a dog will have their chip time disqualified and jeopardize the inclusion of dogs in the future.
