This year’s route includes a scenic tour of downtown Lansing and the Capitol Christmas Tree. Runners and walkers of all experience levels are encouraged to register for this event.

The Turkey Trot is put on by the Michigan Running Foundation, which puts on events to help support middle and high school cross-country and track programs. All proceeds from this event will go towards these programs. 

Registration is $20, while ages 18 and under are $18. The last day to ensure a T-shirt with registration is Nov. 16. After Nov. 16, the price goes up to $25 until Nov. 21 and does not guarantee an event t-shirt.

Registration will be available on race day for $30, but a shirt is not guaranteed. Dressing up is encouraged but not required.
