About the Northwestern Trojan Turkey Trot
The course runs on the cross country course at Northwestern High School, mostly on grass, winding across the school grounds and a neighboring middle school campus. It is a real trail-style cross country layout, not a road course, so expect uneven ground and open field running rather than pavement.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local running store, with race-morning pickup available near the start line at the back of the school. Parking is on site, and the start line is a short walk along a covered walkway from the lot. A food truck and sponsor booths are set up near the finish, and there are snacks and water afterward.

The Northwestern Trojan Turkey Trot has been held every year since at least 2020. 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 25, 2026.
