About the Blue Ostrich Wine Run Turkey Trot 5k

The course starts and finishes at Blue Ostrich Winery and Vineyard, spending most of its distance on open roads before looping back through the vineyard rows themselves. The property has a history as an ostrich ranch, and there are still ostriches on the grounds, so expect some curious company along the route. The terrain is open and scenic ranch country.

Packet pickup happens on race morning, opening about an hour before the start. There is no pre-race pickup, so plan to arrive with a little time to spare. After you finish, wine is poured at the winery. Age group awards are self-serve: check your results online, then stop by the registration table if you placed.

Common Questions About the Blue Ostrich Wine Run Turkey Trot 5k

Will I finish last at the Blue Ostrich Wine Run Turkey Trot 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 46:11, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:03:43, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Blue Ostrich Wine Run Turkey Trot 5k a good first 5K?

A field of 321 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Blue Ostrich Wine Run Turkey Trot 5k?

The 5K winner ran 20:12 while the median finisher took 46:11. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
