Event Description

🦃 Two Harbors Trail Alliance Turkey Trot
Thursday, November 26 · Erkki Harju Ski Trails, Fairgrounds Rd

Kick off your Thanksgiving on the trails! Choose a 1K, 3K, or 5 K. Runners, walkers, families, and leashed dogs are all welcome. Come to race, or to cheer on the participants. Day-of walk-up registration is welcome. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to race start for day-of registration. Costumes are strongly encouraged. 

You'll be on the same trails used for walking in the summer months and cross country skiing in the winter months. 

🏃 The races

1K: out and back, starts at 9:30 AM. Low-pressure race that's great for the youngsters!
3K: out and back, starts at 10:00 AM. Aid station at the turnaround.
5K: one loop, starts at 10:00 AM. Aid station along the loop.
💧 Aid station: at the main ski trail parking lot. It’s the 3K turnaround and a stop on the 5K loop.

📍 Location & parking
Park in the big lot across from the Lake County Fairgrounds on Fairgrounds Rd. Check-in, the start/finish, and the post-race gathering are all at the trailhead. Please arrive 20 minutes before your race to check in if you are already registered.

🌧️☀️❄️ All-weather event
Late November on the North Shore can bring anything from frosty sunshine to fresh snow. Dress in layers and wear shoes with good traction. It’s also hunting season, so wear bright or blaze-orange clothing.

💛 Entry is donation-based
Give whatever feels right to you. Every dollar supports local trails.

🥧 After the race

Pie and hot drinks.

Awards for the first-place finishers in the 1K, 3K, and 5K AND best costume.
