About the Linaje Turkey Trot
The Linaje Run Club hosts this Thanksgiving morning trot at Independence Grove, with course options for both shorter and longer distances. The setting is a forest preserve, so expect natural surroundings rather than pavement-heavy roads. The event is free to enter, which makes the morning feel more like a group outing than a race.
The start area is near one of the grove's parking lots, so arriving is straightforward. Hot chocolate is out after the run. The club also runs a winter clothing donation drive alongside the race, collecting gloves, hats, and socks, so consider bringing something to drop off.
