Description

Description:

Back for its 10th year, the Turkey Trot 5k is returning to Grand Valley's beautiful campus! Join us the Saturday before Thanksgiving, November 22nd, to burn some pre-thanksgiving calories and earn a commemorative t-shirt (and PR). This year's course includes a start and finish under the iconic blue transformational link, a flat and paved (fast) course, and course marshals at nearly every turn. Best of all, proceeds benefit the GVSU Run Club, helping support student-athletes and their passion for running. So come trot for a cause!

AWARDS:

Medals will be given to the top three in each age category.

Age Categories: 0-10, 11-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+
