St. Leonard Turkey Trot

The St. Leonard Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving 5K in Muskego, Wisconsin, with four event options for people who want different ways to join the morning. It is built as a community race rather than a bare-bones run, with chip timing for runners, colorful wicking shirts, refreshments, a DJ, participant ribbons, and age-group awards in ten-year brackets. The course tours historic Pioneer Drive and then moves through wide subdivision streets in Muskego. Runners get two water stations, sentries at most intersections, and plenty of cowbells along the way, so the race has the feel of a local holiday tradition with families, casual runners, and more competitive 5K participants sharing the same Thanksgiving start.
