Naperville Noon Lions Turkey Trot 5K

The Naperville Noon Lions Turkey Trot 5K begins at Naperville Central High School on Thanksgiving morning, offering runners and walkers a local option to be active before the holiday meal. The Naperville Noon Lions Club organizes the race, attracting nearly 8,000 participants and functioning more as a community holiday gathering than a small club event. The course is a 5K through Naperville, with timed awards for top finishers and a long-sleeved shirt for all participants. Following the run, Belgio’s Catering offers a complimentary breakfast. Proceeds support the Lions' vision, hearing, and diabetes services for Naperville residents lacking the means to afford such care.
