A charitable and fun spritied event, the Granville Island Turkey Trot encourages runners of all abilities to join in. The Granville Island Turkey Trot has become a hallmark event for Granville Island and the Vancouver run community. The annual event brings together runners in a celebration of Thanksgiving, demonstrating our community of running, our gratitude for the sport, and our commitment to supporting others.
