🦃 Kick off your Thanksgiving with a 5K on the trails! The Two Harbors Trail Alliance Turkey Trot starts at 10:00 AM on Thursday, November 26 at the Erkki Harju Ski Trails on Fairgrounds Rd. Runners, walkers, families, and dogs on leash are all welcome. Come to race or just to enjoy a holiday morning outside with your neighbors.
📍 Location & parking: Park in the big lot across from the Lake County Fairgrounds on Fairgrounds Rd. Check-in, the start/finish, and the post-race gathering are all right at the trailhead.
You'll be on the same trails where Two Harbors High School's cross-country ski team trains and competes every winter.
🌧️☀️❄️ Rain, shine, or snow, this is an all-weather event! Late November on the North Shore can bring anything from frosty sunshine to a fresh blanket of snow, so dress in layers and wear shoes with good traction. Bright or blaze-orange clothing is encouraged, since the event falls during hunting season.
Entry is donation-based. Give whatever amount feels right to you. Every dollar supports local trails.
After the race:
- 🥧 Pie and hot beverages
- 🔥 Gather around the bonfire to warm up
- 🏅 Awards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers
- 🎟️ Raffle drawing with prizes donated by local businesses
Must be present to win awards and raffle prizes.
Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes early to check in. Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂
