About the Palm City Turkey Trot 5K Run

The course is a single loop starting and finishing at Palm City Presbyterian Church, running on flat ground with no real hills to contend with. It is a Thanksgiving morning race, so expect the crowd to be a mix of regulars and people who showed up mostly for the pie-adjacent tradition of it.

Packet pickup runs the two evenings before the race at the church, and you can grab a packet for someone else while you are there. Race-morning pickup opens early. After the race, coffee and breakfast are set up on campus, along with games and a kids bounce house.

Common Questions About the Palm City Turkey Trot 5K Run

Will I finish last at the Palm City Turkey Trot 5K Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 33:17, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:07:17, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Palm City Turkey Trot 5K Run a good first 5K?

A field of 604 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 Palm City Turkey Trot 5K Run?

The 5K winner ran 17:06 while the median finisher took 33:17. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
