Event Description

2019 Bonfield Turkey Trot - 16th Anniversary

Downtown Downers Grove at Main & Grove

Thanksgiving morning, starts at 8:30am. 

From the charming streets, to the tight knit communities and the vibrant downtown, this race has it all. The annual Bonfield Express 5K Thanksgiving Day race is one of the many events that makes this community so special. Runners, walkers and kids in strollers come out in droves despite cold November temps.  There's a fantastic energy in the air (not to mention the fun of neighbors along the race course that pass out donut holes and pump out fun music!) that kicks off Thanksgiving in such a wonderful way. 

This race has many proud sponsors that are happy to support this organization that finds such meaningful ways to help local schools and students. Since 2004, the Bonfield Express Foundation has given over $400,000 in scholarships to 182 seniors at six local high schools in Downers, Westmont, Lisle and Hinsdale. The organization also recently donated $1,000 to each of the District 58 schools.
