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. ## Similar picks in Chicago - [Life Time Turkey Trot Chicago 5K/8K and Plymouth Rock Ramble Kids Race](https://grassyknees.com/chicago/activities/life-time-turkey-trot-chicago-5k-8k-and-plymouth-rock-ramble-kids-race--listing-daa7e23ce46dc46e77aa1272) — Thu, Nov 26 · 9:00 AM · Diversey Harbor, Lincoln Park (start on Cannon Dr. just south of Diversey Pkwy) · All ages · Paid · checked Oct 30.
