2026 Festival Foods Turkey Trot Fond du Lac

The Festival Foods Turkey Trot Fond du Lac is a Thanksgiving morning run and walk held at Fond du Lac High School in Wisconsin. It begins precisely at 8:00 am CST and features two standard distance choices: a 5-mile race and a 2-mile race. This event belongs to the Festival Foods Turkey Trot race series, with bib and shirt collection available at the high school prior to race day. The race staging is functional and school-based: runners access the area via the Commons, proceeding to distinct start and finish locations for the two distances. The 5-mile start is positioned on the school driveway off Luco Road, and the 2-mile start is situated across the parking lot from the Commons. Participants self-seed according to their expected pace, and participants with dogs begin after the main field has started. Finishers receive refreshments and a personal pumpkin pie, contributing to the race's distinct Wisconsin Thanksgiving atmosphere.
