Oak Creek WI National Turkey Trot

Join us for Oak Creek's annual Turkey Trot along Lake Michigan. 

The average American will consume approximately 3,000 calories during his/her Thanksgiving dinner this year. Add in pre-meal snacks and a serving of grandma's famous pie, and that number can easily reach upwards of 4,500 calories.   

To help burn off all that food, we suggest burning off as many calories as possible before the bird even comes out of the oven.

VENUE ADDRESS: Lake Vista Park - Address: 4001 Lake Vista Parkway, Oak Creek, WI 53154  

RACE DAY AGENDA

  • 8:00 - 8:45 A.M. - Packet Pick Up (Inside the Lake Vista Pavilion)

  • The top 3 male/female OVERALL runners will be handed O&H Danish Kringle as they cross the finish line.

    Overall awards are based on gun start, while age category awards will be based on chip start. Results will be available about 11:30 a.m. You can view results at www.5Kevents.org and click on the race results tab. Remember this is a chip start, so a person's finishing order via Gun Start will not be the same as Chip Start. The race clock will represent the official Race start time but not your finish time. If your final time, gender, bib#, or other data is incorrect on the final results, please notify the race director using our online correction form. PLEASE, Do not interrupt the timing crew during the event.

    You may submit corrections at: https://5kevents.org/result_correction.html. While results will be immediately posted online at www.5Kevents.org, results will not be official for 48 Hours. This will allow us to make corrections, but also time for our staff to enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday as well.
