About the 2026 NorthPointe Wellness Turkey Trot

This is a Thanksgiving morning race organized around a health and wellness center in Roscoe, with the start and finish anchored at the facility itself. The course is outdoors with a water station on course and another at the start and finish area. Volunteers are sparse out on the route, so knowing the course ahead of time helps.

Packet pickup runs across several days the week before Thanksgiving, with no race-morning option, so plan accordingly. Before and after the race, participants are welcome to use the south patio at the back of the building. Awards go out by mail rather than at a ceremony, which means you can get on with the rest of your holiday.

Common Questions About the 2026 NorthPointe Wellness Turkey Trot

Will I finish last at the 2026 NorthPointe Wellness Turkey Trot?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 37:15, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:18:28, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 2026 NorthPointe Wellness Turkey Trot a good first 5K?

A field of 612 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 2026 NorthPointe Wellness Turkey Trot?

The 5K winner ran 17:29 while the median finisher took 37:15. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
