About the 34th Annual Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk

This race has been a Thanksgiving-season staple in Sebring for a long time. The organizer's copy does not describe the course terrain or route in detail, so what is clear is simply that it is a local tradition with enough history behind it to feel established rather than new.

Common Questions About the 34th Annual Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the 34th Annual Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 37:20, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:11:33, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 34th Annual Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 625 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 34th Annual Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 18:25 while the median finisher took 37:20. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
