About the Charlie Normile's Turkey Trot
This race honors two men from the Normile family, with proceeds going to the Navy SEAL Foundation. There is a competitive distance with prizes, a shorter fun run that welcomes dogs, and a tiny sprint for the youngest kids. The military tribute gives the morning a purpose that goes past the finish line.
Packet pickup is the day before at Lago Mar Pizza on Sandbridge Road, a local spot that makes for an easy stop before race morning.
