Start your Thanksgiving morning with a fun and festive tradition in Downtown Maryville! The annual Downtown Turkey Trot invites runners, walkers, families, and friends to lace up their shoes and hit the streets before the feast. This untimed fun run winds through the downtown and campus of Northwest Missouri State University, encouraging all ages to get moving, enjoy the crisp fall air, and celebrate community spirit. Costumes, strollers, and turkey hats are encouraged! Whether you’re trotting for fitness or for fun, it’s the perfect way to kick off Thanksgiving Day in Maryville.
