GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Before they sit down for a Thanksgiving meal, thousands across Northeast Wisconsin will hit the pavement in the annual Festival Foods Turkey Trot.
The event starts at 8 a.m. Thanksgiving morning in Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac and Manitowoc.
The morning jog looks chilly. Temperatures will start in the low 20’s at sunrise and likely be near 24 degrees at 8 a.m. Expect lots of clouds overhead and a stray flurry or two possible, especially along the Lakeshore early in the day.
Winds shouldn’t be too strong, with an east to southeasterly breeze at 5 to 10 miles per hour.
We’ll remain chilly and cloudy for the rest of Thanksgiving with highs only reaching the low 30’s.
Each participant gets a shirt to start and a pumpkin pie and coffee at the finish line.
The profits go to benefit local charities where Festival Foods stores are located.
Race maps can be found here.
