Up North Media Traverse City Turkey Trot
About this race
Join us this year for the 18th Annual Up North Media Traverse City Turkey Trot presented by 4Front Credit Union! This race has been a place of joy, family, friends (furry ones too), and a place where memories and traditions are made.
The UpNorth Media Traverse City Turkey Trot team does its best to treat the course before race day. However, due to the unpredictable November Northern Michigan weather; all runners participate at their own risk.
