Grand Rapids Turkey Trot Impact | Grand Rapids News

Grand Rapids Public Schools is turning up the heat on its annual Turkey Trot, adding a 10K race and 1-mile walk to the classic 5K and kids’ mini trot—all set for Thanksgiving morning downtown. After smashing last year’s record with over 6,500 runners and $275K raised for student athletes, this year’s event aims even higher. Every dollar goes straight to gear, travel, and programs supporting 4,000+ student-athletes across 40 schools. Race fees are $35 for 5K or 1-mile, $60 for 10K; kids 12 and under run free, and GRPS students get a free 5K with a coupon. It’s not just a race—it’s community-powered impact, building character and opportunity one stride at a time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
