About the 10th Annual Bobcats Turkey Trot 5K

This race is put on by a high school girls basketball program, which gives it a roots-in-the-community feel that most Turkey Trots lack. There are timed and untimed options, so runners and casual walkers tend to sort themselves naturally without much fuss at the start line.

Packet pickup is the evening before at the high school, with the auditorium entrance as your way in. Race-morning pickup is available as a backup, but the organizers strongly encourage getting your bib the night before.

Common Questions About the 10th Annual Bobcats Turkey Trot 5K

Will I finish last at the 10th Annual Bobcats Turkey Trot 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 32:48, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:02:49, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 10th Annual Bobcats Turkey Trot 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 496 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 10th Annual Bobcats Turkey Trot 5K?

The 5K winner ran 15:51 while the median finisher took 32:48. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
