Charlevoix Turkey Trot Fun Run
The Charlevoix Turkey Trot Fun Run is an untimed community run at the Charlevoix City Marina by the bandshell. The event offers two measured route options and posts signs at distance turnarounds and the 1 mile mark for the shorter course. Participants are encouraged to use personal apps or watches for timing because no official timer is used.
The route leaves from the marina area, runs under the bridge to the Lake Michigan beach, continues along Lakeshore Drive near the cement plant to a turnaround point, and returns to the marina and bandshell for the finish. Donuts and Walter Wellness Goodie Bags are available at the finish line.
Proceeds from the event are directed to Safe Haven Ministries for their soup kitchen program. Attendees may bring non-perishable food items for donation to the local Charlevoix food bank.
Registration and participation details specified by the organizer include an adult registration fee of $15 and a policy that children 12 and under do not need to register but must run with a registered parent or guardian. Adult registration waivers extend responsibility coverage to unregistered children running with that adult. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
