Turkey Trot
The Tallahassee Turkey Trot consists of four races all run on Thanksgiving morning.
Celebrate your health and fitness by finishing one of the them
The Turkey Gobbler 1 mile race – It starts everything off at 8:00 a.m. sharp. Like all the other races it starts and finishes on Esplanade. The course runs a big rectangle and there are no hills.
The Turkey Trot 5K (3.1 miles) – The 5K, the 10K and the 15K all start at 8:30 a.m. sharp. There is a hill on this course, but overall it is a very fast course.
The Turkey Trot 10K (6.2 miles) As stated above, this race starts at 8:30. It runs the same route as the 5K and the 15K for the first two miles. Runners may change races any time during those first 2 miles as long as they are careful and do not knock anyone down.
The Turkey Trot 15K (9.3 miles). Yes it starts at 8:30 with the 5K and the 10K, but it is for the dedicated runner. It is a great race if you are ready to take on the challenge. But we ask participants not to walk the race because that denies our volunteers the opportunity to get home at a reasonable time.
