This year the event will begin and end at The Beacon Tap.
Participants encouraged to bring items for the food pantry.
Forest Ave between Lee St & Wolf Rd will be closed for the Turkey Trot
2025 Forest School Neighbors and Friends filled the Food Pantry Van with donations of Non-perishable food items.
No registration fee for this years Turkey Trot – only donations of food for the Des Plaines Food Pantry. The collection van was full and we couldn’t be happier about the community support for the food pantry.
About Us
In the fall of 2018 a group of neighbors near Forest Elementary School decided to coordinate a Turkey Trot to bring our community together and support the local food pantry.

Carmen Makes Cookies and The Pretzel Place returned in 2025! Great way to grab dessert for Thanksgiving!
We’re always happy to talk about how we can make things better every year
