About the Baton Rouge Turkey Trot
Celebrating its 38th year, the Turkey Trot returns to Downtown Baton Rouge on the morning of Thanksgiving 2024. This race is a local thanksgiving tradition – one that serves the community by keeping them active and fit through racing and by partnering with the March of Dimes as a fund-raiser to help their organization financially and by spreading the word about the work they do. Come run, walk or jog the 5K or the 1 mile fun run with your family and friends and #earnyourturkey.
