Parking & Directions

Suggested Parking for the 2023 41st Annual Strategic Staffing Solutions Turkey Trot

 

Congestion will be heavy throughout the downtown area on Thanksgiving morning due to the race, America’s Thanksgiving Parade® presented by Gardner-White, and the Detroit Lions Football Game.  It is recommended that you be in your parking place by 6:15 am, whichever race you attend.  Our S3 Turkey Trot Race Central in Huntington Place opens at 6:00am.  The Turkey Trot cannot be held responsible if you miss the start due to traffic delays.

There are locations we suggest that have access to and from the Start Area on Griswold and the Finish at Huntington Place.

HUNTINGTON PLACE ROOF DECK: 625 West Congress, Detroit 48226. (While there is a designated departure route to avoid cutting the course, traffic may be delayed due to runner traffic on Fort and Jefferson.)
$16, credit card only. NO cash. Closes at 1:00 pm on Thanksgiving Day.

HUNTINGTON PLACE WASHINGTON BLVD. GARAGE : 1 Washington Blvd., Detroit 48226. Conveniently located beneath Huntington Place, with access off Jefferson and Washington Blvd.
$16, credit card only. NO cash. Closes at 1:00 pm on Thanksgiving Day.

CENTER GARAGE (SP+ Parking): 414 Renaissance Drive West, Detroit 48243 (formerly Miller Garage).  Next to the GM Renaissance Center.  Easy Access from Jefferson Ave.  There is an additional entrance on Bates, just north of Atwater.

MILLENNIUM GARAGE: 432 Congress (across the street from Huntington Place). One block west of Washington Blvd. with easy egress onto the Lodge Freeway. Open 24/7. Room for 600 vehicles. $12, credit card only. NO cash.

Many other parking structures and lots in the downtown Detroit area are open for the race and The Parade.  All parking fees are the responsibility of the participant.

While Huntington Place is not included, several parking apps offer an easy option to reserve a parking place and pre-pay.  Discounted prices are sometimes available.  Parking.com, SpotHero and ParkWhiz are three of the parking apps available for download to your mobile device.
