About the Argos Turkey Trot
The Argos Turkey Trot runs through Argos Community Park on Thanksgiving morning, starting and finishing near the West Pavilion. The course is a short out-and-back or loop through the park, open to runners and walkers alike. The entry fee is a food donation, with everything collected going to the local food pantry.
The start is at the West Pavilion in the park, so parking and gathering are straightforward. It runs rain or shine, which on a Thanksgiving morning means dressing in layers. Post-race there is no spread mentioned, but the whole thing wraps up early enough to get you home well before dinner.
