Overview

Join us the Saturday after Thanksgiving for a fun Kids Dash, Turkey Trot Half Marathon, and 5K! Our course is a perfect race to get moving before a big Thanksgiving meal! We even have a virtual option for those who can’t make it but still want the swag! Bring your friends and family to enjoy a nice morning run and start your Thanksgiving.

The point-to-point course for the half marathon starts and just inside the west entrance of the preserve off Higgins Road near the North Pool, and unfolds along a winding route through the park’s paved pathways and trails. This 440-acre preserve is part of the 3,700-acre Ned Brown Preserve, and is known for its unique flatwoods, forests, meadows and marshes, which support a wide variety of aquatic birds like ducks and geese as well as plenty of critters such as muskrat and mink, any of which runners may encounter along the course. Runners will get to see a variety of scenery on their route through the preserve, from wide-open areas as they run along the shoreline of the 590-acre Busse Lake in the middle of the park to the forest trails that wind along its eastern edges, which pass by areas like the park’s elk pasture.
