About the Friendswood Turkey Trot
The Friendswood Turkey Trot runs on Thanksgiving morning at Centennial Park. There are distance options for seasoned runners and a kids fun run with a turkey-shaped course for the youngest crowd. The park setting keeps everything contained and easy to navigate, and the whole event doubles as a community festival open to anyone who wants to come out and watch.
The festival grounds are free to enter, so families who are not racing can still show up and cheer from the sidelines. Finish-line refreshments are on hand after the race.
