The course runs through Butterfly Farm, so the surroundings are working farmland rather than roads or a park trail. The route is out in the open air, and the farm's resident turkeys are part of the scenery, not just a theme on the bib.
After finishing, runners can walk around and meet the birds up close. The farm setting gives the post-race time a different feel than a parking-lot finish area, and getting a photo with an actual turkey is a reasonable thing to do here.
