Grayslake Central Turkey Trot

The Grayslake Central Turkey Trot is a 5K run/walk hosted by the Grayslake Central High School Booster Club. It takes place in November, with the start and finish lines located on the Grayslake Central High School track. The course departs the track, travels through adjacent neighborhoods, and then returns to the school. Funds raised benefit the high school's athletic program, making the race a local Thanksgiving-season event and a fundraiser. The top three male and female finishers receive trophies, while age-group runners can win medals for finishing first, second, or third.
