Run for a Cause at Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot – Elmhurst Toyota Dealer

Join the community in celebrating a wonderful tradition. Start your Thanksgiving with a hearty run at the Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot on Thursday, Nov. 23, 2023. The event kicks off bright and early, with race day registration beginning at 7 a.m., leading up to the trot’s start at 9 a.m. This event is not merely a race, but a heartfelt cause aiming to combat hunger in DuPage County. That’s why we at Elmhurst Toyota urge everyone to come out and lend their support.

The trot marks its 40th anniversary this year, making it a special occasion. The gathering point is at Park Avenue and Adell Place in Elmhurst, where over 8,000 participants will set off on a 5K (3.1 mile) run/walk. The course, set entirely on paved streets, promises a safe and enjoyable experience for runners, joggers, and walkers alike.

A modest registration fee of $40 (plus a $3.40 sign-up fee) grants you entry into a fun-filled event with a profound impact. The funds collected are meticulously used within DuPage County to provide meals for those in need, a cause the Dan Gibbons Foundation has been devoted to for decades. To date, nearly $3.9 million has been donated, translating to almost 4 million meals.

Your participation goes beyond the exhilarating race. It’s a stride towards alleviating hunger in the community and celebrating a tradition of giving and sharing. The race epitomizes the Thanksgiving spirit of gratitude and communal support. It provides a platform for individuals and families to come together, exercise, and contribute toward a noble cause.

So, mark your calendars, lace up your running shoes, and make your way to the Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot this Thanksgiving. Register before Nov. 19, 2023, to secure your spot and be a part of a legacy of making a difference. Your trot could mean a warm meal for a neighbor in need.
