Once again, Grand Rapids Public Schools (GRPS) gears up for the 2024 Turkey Trot, the largest, family-friendly 5k event that directly benefits GRPS student athletes.

Please join us in support of our Annual Grand Rapids Turkey Trot, presented by Blue Care Network of Michigan.

This annual event has become one of the largest and best Thanksgiving Day experiences in Michigan, with participation at over 5,800 runners! We will start and finish in front of the Van Andel Arena as well as offering the virtual option again. The morning begins at 8:10 am with the LMCU Mini Trot, a fun run for children 12 and under, followed by My Team Triumph and the 5K run/walk.

The Turkey Trot provides the opportunity for sponsors to reach the greater-Grand Rapids community AND to support the students of Grand Rapids Public Schools. We hope you will join us as a sponsor of the 2024 Grand Rapids Turkey Trot. Please see the full description of sponsorship opportunities to consider how you can become a part of this meaningful holiday tradition.
