The Pearland Turkey Trot runs on Thanksgiving morning, which means the field tends to be a mix of people working off what comes later and people who just wanted a reason to get outside. The race is held in Pearland, a suburban town south of the city.

The Pearland Turkey Trot has been held every year since at least 2016. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
Set a goal and get a pace band: every mile split on a card sized for your phone lock screen, so race morning needs no math.

Almost certainly not. Half the 4 Miles field finished slower than 39:29, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:18:51, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
With 765 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 4 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 4 Miles winner ran 18:41 while the median finisher took 39:29. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
