About this adventure
The Gilbert Turkey Trot transforms the open-air avenues of SanTan Village into a bustling Thanksgiving morning fun run for thousands of East Valley families. Starting and finishing near Macy's, the course routes through wide shopping avenues and perimeter drives, providing a safe, completely paved, and flat path for runners and walkers of all fitness levels. Families can register for the timed 5K run or the untimed 1-Mile Fun Run, with strollers warmly welcomed in designated waves. In addition to festive finisher medals and holiday music, 100% of event proceeds are donated directly to Arizona Brainfood and Families Fighting Blindness, helping provide weekend meals to children across local schools.
