About the race
The Trax4Max Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving morning running event in downtown Florence, Alabama on November 26, 2026. The event includes two distances:
- 5K
- 1 mile Family Fun Run
The 5K course is USA Track & Field certified (AL21032JE) and includes some hills. Two aid and recovery stations are provided: one at the start/finish area offering hydration, first aid, snacks, and electrolytes, and an on-course station between mile 1 and 2 with water and first aid. Early packet pickup is available at Solid Rock Running Company on the Wednesday before the race, and race morning pickup is also offered.
Awards for the 5K include trophies for overall finishers and age-based masters categories (Masters 40+, GrandMasters 50+, Great GrandMasters 60+), with 1st through 3rd place medals awarded in 5-year age groups for male and female finishers. Race shirts are guaranteed for registrants who register before the t-shirt deadline on November 5, 2026; after that date shirts are available while sizes and inventory last. Registration fee for each listed event is $30.00.
The event traditionally draws over 1,100 participants and donates proceeds to the YMCA of the Shoals. Strollers and well-socialized leashed dogs are permitted at the back of the pack; wheeled devices such as bikes, scooters, skateboards, and wagons are not allowed on course. Street parking is available throughout downtown Florence. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
