About the Long Grove Turkey Trot 5K & 8K
The Long Grove Turkey Trot runs on Thanksgiving morning, and the town itself is the backdrop. Long Grove has a historic village center with brick paths and old storefronts, so the course moves through surroundings that feel a little different from a park or a trail run. Several distance options mean you can pick what fits the day before a big meal.
