Thank you for joining us on Thanksgiving morning for the 14th Annual Highland Park Turkey Trot! Despite the cold temps and slippery streets, you showed up with energy, smiles, and determination, and together we created a truly joyful, community-building event.
This year was our largest turnout ever with more than 1,500 participants! Your enthusiasm continues to make the Turkey Trot one of Highland Park’s favorite Thanksgiving traditions.
Congratulations to our 1st place finisher, Oliver Paleen with an unofficial time of 15:44! Also congrats to 2nd and 3rd place finishers; Calvin Boone (2nd) and Max Gifford (3rd).
We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to:
• Our generous sponsors listed below — this event simply wouldn’t be possible without your support.
• The entire Highland Park community for cheering, volunteering, and embracing the spirit of the day.
• Tiffany’s Sports Lounge, for their warmth and hospitality as runners came in from the cold to enjoy breakfast and celebration.
If you snapped any great photos on race day, we’d love to feature them on the HPTT website! Please send them to highlandparkturkeytrot@gmail.com.
Mark your calendars:
The 15th Annual Highland Park Turkey Trot will be held on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, November 26, 2026. Online registration to open late October.
