About the 18th Annual Levis JCC Turkey Trot 5k

The race starts and finishes at South County Regional Park, centered around the Sunset Cove Amphitheater. It is a holiday morning tradition in Boca Raton, with a youth fun run following the main event. The course is in a park setting, and the morning draws families running together as much as anyone chasing a time.

Packet pickup is available at the JCC campus and at a couple of local running stores in the days before the race. On race morning, packets go out at the amphitheater before the start. When you arrive by car, note that most park entrances close once the race gets underway, so the Glades Road entrance is the one to use.

Common Questions About the 18th Annual Levis JCC Turkey Trot 5k

Will I finish last at the 18th Annual Levis JCC Turkey Trot 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 34:43, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:22:58, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 18th Annual Levis JCC Turkey Trot 5k a good first 5K?

With 1,822 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. 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 18th Annual Levis JCC Turkey Trot 5k?

The 5K winner ran 16:29 while the median finisher took 34:43. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
