About the Memorial Park Turkey Trot (Omaha, Nebraska)
The course starts at the Memorial Park monument, loops around the park on Thanksgiving morning, and the entry fee is canned food or a cash donation that goes to a local food bank. Costumes are encouraged, which gives the whole thing a lighthearted pull. Several distance options let you choose how far you go around the park.
Parking sits around the roundabout and along the neighborhood streets just north of the park. The start and finish are at the same monument, so it is easy to find your people before and after.
