From the Organizer

Kick off your Thanksgiving morning with movement, laughter, and community at the very first Fenton Turkey Trot! This 5K Run & Walk will take place along the scenic Silver Lake Laff Pathway, making it the perfect backdrop for a festive and feel-good start to the holiday.

This event is all about family, fun, and fresh air—whether you’re racing for a PR, walking with a stroller, or just out to burn the bird before the feast. Open to all ages and abilities, it’s a great way to bring neighbors together and celebrate health and gratitude.

All proceeds will help promote future Fenton pathway projects, supporting safe, connected spaces for walking, running, and biking while engaging the community and bringing families together.

Lace up your shoes, grab your crew, and start Thanksgiving with a new tradition. Let’s move together, Fenton!
