Gather your family, lace up your sneakers, and get ready for the much-anticipated Gilbert Turkey Trot on Thursday, November 28, 2024. Set in the picturesque San Tan Village, this annual event is a wonderful way to kick off your Thanksgiving Day with a mix of fitness, fun, and community spirit. Starting at 8:30 am, participants will enjoy a lively morning filled with exercise, family-friendly activities, and the heartwarming knowledge that 100% of the event’s proceeds will go toward supporting local nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving the lives of children in the Gilbert area.
A Tradition
The Gilbert Turkey Trot has become a beloved tradition for many families, and this year, the event continues to attract individuals, groups, and families who want to contribute to a great cause. Whether you’re an experienced runner, a casual jogger, or someone looking to take a leisurely stroll, the event is designed for all fitness levels. It’s a perfect opportunity to get moving before the big Thanksgiving feast and make lasting memories with loved ones.
A key update this year pertains to pet participation. While dogs have been a cherished part of the Turkey Trot in the past, there has been a change in the policy for 2024. While dogs are no longer allowed to run or walk alongside their owners during the race or fun run, they are still invited to join in the festivities as leashed spectators. This change ensures that the event remains safe and enjoyable for all participants, including runners, walkers, and the furry friends who cheer from the sidelines.
See You There
The Gilbert Turkey Trot is more than just a race; it’s an opportunity to make a difference in your community. By participating, you’ll be supporting local children’s programs, helping them thrive and grow. So, gather your loved ones, don your favorite turkey-themed attire, and join the fun. Together, we can make this Thanksgiving even more special by giving back to those who need it most.
