About the Myers Family Foundation Turkey Trot
The course runs through Myeerah Nature Reserve, a natural setting that puts you out among trees and open land rather than roads and sidewalks. The route is described as scenic, and given the reserve, you can expect trail-style surroundings. A Thanksgiving morning start means bare branches and cool air, which suits the setting.
Check-in opens before the race and is set up near the starting line, so there is no scrambling between a distant packet pickup and a start area. A short fun run is also on the schedule for younger kids. Walk-up registration is handled at the same check-in table, cash only.
