About the Livonia Turkey Trot
The course winds through the village on Thanksgiving morning, starting and finishing at the high school bus loop. It is a road race on a relatively short route. A kids race runs separately, staged near the finish line. Canned goods collected at the event go to a local food pantry, and all race donations benefit the Friends of Livonia.
Parking is free at the high school, with a couple of lots to choose from. Packet pickup the evening before is in the gymnasium off the main middle school entrance. On race morning, registration and pickup run from the same gymnasium until the start. Light snacks and refreshments are out after the race, and awards are announced once everyone has finished.

The Livonia Turkey Trot has been held every year since at least 2014. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 18, 2026.
