Deerfield Park Turkey Trot 5k is a trail running and running race on November 26, 2026 in Mt. Pleasant, MI, with an entry fee of $30.
Come join us for a little exercise Thanksgiving morning to get some exercise and make room for some great Thanksgiving food! Deerfield park is beautiful in the fall and you will love the course! 100% of the entries from this event go directly to support the Shepherd Track spring break trip to Orange Beach, Alabama. Your participation helps to provide these young adults with a safe spring break opportunity where they can develop as track athletes and as people. The race is great and the cause is even greater. Shirts are available while they last and we will have some light snacks and drinks available after the race. Awards in the version of gift cards to pick up some last minute Thanksgiving needs will be handed out to age group champions as well. Giveaways will be unavailable after 11/15/2025 or when inventory is gone on the registration page.
