Granville Island Turkey Trot 2025
Date: Monday, October 13, 2025
Location: Granville Island, Vancouver, BC
Event Overview
The Granville Island Turkey Trot is a beloved Thanksgiving tradition in Vancouver. Each year, this hallmark event brings together the running community to celebrate gratitude, fitness, and giving back. Runners, walkers, and families gather to enjoy the fun atmosphere while supporting local food banks, including the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, Surrey Food Bank, and SHARE Family and Community Services.
In 2025, the 10KM run has already reached capacity, but limited space remains for the popular 1KM Kids Run. This family-friendly event always sells out, so early registration is highly encouraged.
