WMU Turkey Trot
The WMU Turkey Trot is an in-person event at the WMU Student Recreation Center in Kalamazoo, MI. The event offers two 5K options and limits registration to 1,000 participants. Registration is online only for 2026, with a regular online fee and a higher late registration fee for Nov. 20 and Nov. 21.
Distances:
- 5K Run
- 5K Walk
There are two registration choices: the race only for $30, or race plus a Dri-Fit race shirt for $45. Dri-Fit shirts in sizes 2XL and 3XL carry an additional $2.50 charge. Shirt quantities are limited by size; registering by Oct. 29 guarantees a shirt size, while registrations after that date may not receive the requested size.
Packet pickup is available on Friday, Nov. 20 in the WMU Student Recreation Center indoor tennis courts, with posted pickup times. In-person registrations may be accepted on race day only if spots remain and only until shortly before the event begins.
Awards are given for overall top male and female in both the run and walk divisions, and there is a costume contest. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
