Detroit Turkey Trot @ Huntington Place Expo
Nov 27 @ 7:30 am
Detroit Turkey Trot @ Huntington Place Expo | Detroit | Michigan | United States

The S3 Turkey Trot has been a tradition in Detroit for over 40 years!

Much more than a variety of races (10k/5k/1 mile), thousands of participants dress in costumes for the event. Often declared “The Parade before The Parade”, participants frolic by the largest spectator crowd in Michigan. Truly an awesome way to start Thanksgiving Day!
