Think “November” and visions of roast turkey undoubtedly come to mind. Epic Races invites you to envision — and experience — a totally different take on that famous fall bird with The Original Kroger A2 Turkey Trot. Join us at Hudson Mills Metropark for this annual autumn tradition and enjoy a late-season run that is fun for the whole family!

LET’S TALK TURKEY!

The Original Kroger A2 Turkey Trot features three different distances to whet your racing appetite: a 5K loop around scenic Hudson Mills, a 10K course comprised of two 5K loops, and a mile fun run for those who want just a taste of our Turkey Trot.

For those who prefer a more sizable portion, there’s our Iron Turkey option: run both the 5K and 10K, a total of 9.3 miles! If your feet love gobbling up the miles, then our Iron Turkey challenge is ideal for you! Don’t forget: the A2 Turkey Trot is walker-friendly!

But wait.. there's more! All kids 10 and under race FREE!

    The 2026 Unified 5k and AdaptXpo is an inclusive road race and adaptive sports expo designed so that everyone can participate, whether they run, walk, row, or roll. The event raises critical funds for AdaptX education, research, community events, fitness programming, and grant initiatives. The Unified 5k is a space where athletes with and without disabilities show up together, challenge perceptions, and prove that fitness and sport are more meaningful when everyone has a place at the starting line.

    Join us on August 30th at Hudson Mills for our 2nd annual Unified 5k in Dexter, MI. Participants have the opportunity to run, walk, roll, or row either the 5k (3.1 mile) or 1 Mile course. Arrive early or hang around after the event to check out our vendors and clinics at the AdaptXpo, a celebration of organizations that focus on health, inclusion, accessibility, assistive technology, and adaptive sports.

    Register here for this year's Leftovers Race brought to you by Epic Races and featuring our partner charity, Food Gatherers.

    We’ve got a cornucopia of race swag and WE want to have fun getting it to YOU. After all, we love zero-waste races — and the best part of Thanksgiving is the leftovers. Run a 5K and claim your race leftovers!

    Now is your chance to claim that awesome shirt or medal you always wanted. It could be from the Kroger A2 Turkey Trot. Or the Ann Arbor Marathon. Or the Island Lake Tri. Or any number of races we’ve held! (Yes, we’ll have all sizes available — just not in every shirt.) The fun part of the leftovers race is you don't necessarily know what you're going to get -- but like Thanksgiving leftovers, it will all be good!

    Each participant will receive a 'leftover' shirt, bib and medal from our previous races! On top of that, part of your race fee will go towards Food Gatherers.
