Turkey Day Trail Trot

About the Event

The Turkey Day Trail Trot course is one of our favorites on the east side of Battle Creek Regional Park. A few challenging hills on a 5k double loop course. Runners will run clockwise on the outer loop and counter clockwise on the inner loop. 3K kids run starts with the 5K runners then they get to take the short cut to the finish. All runners receive a custom printed long sleeve Turkey Day Trail Trot shirt.

Be prepared for a mix of paved trail and off-pavement cross country ski trails including a dash of Mother Nature in the mix, could be warm and sunny then again, it has snowed early. The terrain is generally rolling and would not be described as flat.
