About the 32nd Annual Turkey Trot 5K
The course runs through the Homestead High School Environmental Center and moves across gravel paths, grass, trails, and paved road. The surface changes often enough that you notice it underfoot. There is also a short trail race for younger kids, so families tend to show up in force and the start area has that feel.
Packet pickup the evening before is at Fleet Feet South, with a second window race morning at the Environmental Center. No strollers or pets on the course, and registration closes before race day, so plan ahead.
