Join us for a post-Thanksgiving challenge at the Trail Trot on Turkey Ridge in Wildwood, where the only leftovers are the miles you haven't conquered yet. This is no ordinary trot — it's a timed endurance event designed for those looking to burn off that holiday indulgence in a setting as wild as your Thanksgiving feast.
Turkey Ridge offers a scenic 1.8-mile loop with a leg-burning 347 ft of elevation gain per loop. You'll run counterclockwise, starting and finishing at the trailhead, with each loop daring you to push a little harder. Choose between a 2-hour or 4-hour race — because who needs another turkey trot when you can prove your mettle on the trails?
Awards await the top female, male and non-binary finishers in both time categories, but the real reward is showing that pumpkin pie who’s boss. All finishers receive race swag. The race is capped at 75 participants, so secure your spot and get ready to make some room for those leftovers! Register by 11/14/26 to guarantee your swag!
St. Louis Track Club members can gobble up a $10 discount.
A portion of the proceeds for this race will be donated to a local non profit (TBD)
