About the Turkey Day 5K (Danada - Naperville)
The course runs through Danada Forest Preserve, following the Danada Trail. It is a natural-surface path through preserved land, the kind of setting that feels a long way from a road race even though Naperville is right there. Thanksgiving costumes are part of the culture here, so expect a fair number of turkeys and pilgrims at the start line.
