Annual Florida Turkey Trot

Runners and walkers gather at Nathan Benderson Park for the Annual Florida Turkey Trot, a timed 5K event routed around the park's central lake. Participants navigate the flat, paved course starting near the Finish Tower, a layout that encourages both casual walkers and competitive runners seeking a personal record. The organization awards the fastest one hundred male and female finishers based on their chip times with Thanksgiving-themed prizes. A sweet treat awaits every participant at the finish line. The community race provides an active, festive environment focused on physical endurance before the traditional holiday meals begin.
