About this adventure
Chicago's premier lakefront Thanksgiving morning running tradition takes place along the picturesque pathways of Lincoln Park. Offering an 8K and 5K for adults, teenagers, and recreational walkers, the event also features the beloved 'Plymouth Rock Ramble'—a fun, non-competitive dash tailored specifically for children ages 2 to 12. Paved park roads make the entire course stroller-friendly, and all kids receive a commemorative finisher medal, festive turkey hat, and post-race holiday snacks at the Lincoln Park Turkey Tailgate festival.
