About the Turkey Shuffle - Houston
The course runs through Oyster Creek Park, a greenbelt setting where the trail winds through trees and open parkland. In late autumn the shade is pleasant and the surroundings are quieter than a road race. A kids dash runs alongside the main distances, so families tend to make up a big part of the crowd.
A DJ keeps things moving at the start and finish area, announcing runners as they come in. There is a costume contest with a Thanksgiving theme, and snacks and drinks are set up at the finish tent. Age group awards are handed out on site before things wrap up.

The Turkey Shuffle - Houston has been held every year since at least 2024. 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.
