Turkey Trot at Wahlert High School
The event is a Thanksgiving Day run held at Wahlert Catholic High School in Dubuque, Iowa. It is open to participants ages 4 years and older and offers two distance options.
- 2.5 miles single loop course
- 5 miles two loops of the 2.5 mile course
The 2.5 mile course starts in front of Mazzuchelli Catholic, follows Kane Street east, turns onto Balboa Drive, North Grandview, W 32nd Street, Carter Road, and returns on Kane Street to Wahlert Catholic for the finish. Participants may run the course twice to complete the 5 mile distance.
Strollers and leashed dogs are allowed; participants using either are asked to start at the back of the field. Bib numbers and shirts for pre-registered participants can be picked up in the Wahlert gym balcony during listed pickup times. In-person registration and packet pickup are available in the Wahlert gym the evening before and the morning of the event.
The entry fee is $20. Long-sleeve performance shirts are available for purchase for $20 while supplies last; after November 21 shirts can only be purchased at the race venue. A certificate shaped like a turkey will be awarded to the first place finisher in each age division for both distances. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
