2nd Annual Arlington Heights Turkey Trot will be held on Thursday, November 26th, at South Middle School.
Entry Fee: $20 Donation (Proceeds benefit the Wheeling Township Food Pantry)
Start your Thanksgiving Day by making a difference in your community! The Arlington Heights Turkey Trot is more than just a run—it’s an opportunity to give back while celebrating health, gratitude, and togetherness.
Your $20 entry fee directly supports the Wheeling Township Food Pantry, helping local families in need during the holiday season. We also welcome and encourage food donations on race day—bring canned goods or non-perishable items (see our list below for what's needed most) to help stock the shelves and spread holiday cheer.
Whether you run, walk, or trot, every participant contributes to a meaningful cause. Gather your friends, family, and neighbors, and join us for a fun-filled morning of fitness, community spirit, and generosity.
Move with purpose. Give with heart.
Let’s make this Thanksgiving about more than just the feast—let’s make it about feeding hope.
