About the Dream Finders Homes Great Turkey Trot 5K

The race is held at Southern Hills Farm, which gives the course a setting you do not usually get at a road 5K. A working farm outside Clermont means grass, open land, and some texture underfoot. Thanksgiving-week timing draws families in costume as much as it draws runners chasing a time, so the atmosphere skews festive without feeling like a race clinic.

The farm is the finish-line hub, with apple cider donuts from Southern Hills Farm waiting at the end. A kids race runs after the main event, and post-race stays lively with food, music, and entertainment, so there is reason to stick around rather than head straight to the car.

Common Questions About the Dream Finders Homes Great Turkey Trot 5K

Will I finish last at the Dream Finders Homes Great Turkey Trot 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 41:51, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:23:52, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Dream Finders Homes Great Turkey Trot 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 747 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 Dream Finders Homes Great Turkey Trot 5K?

The 5K winner ran 18:33 while the median finisher took 41:51. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
