Turkey Scramble
Turkey Scramble is a community fundraising event in Ozark, Missouri, offering multiple running options around the Finley River and the Ozark business district. The event includes an on-site 5K course that follows streets and trails near The OC and the Ozark Vo-Tech parking area, with a mostly level route and a short slope near the finish. The course provides views of the river and local businesses.
Event options:
- 5K Turkey Scramble
- 5K Doggie division with leashed pets
- Virtual 5K Out Of Town
- 1 Mile Fun Run / Walk
Packet pickup is available at Hometown Sports in Ozark the day before the event and on race morning. The event uses chip timing with the chip mounted on the back of the race bib. Registered runners and walkers are guaranteed a t-shirt if registered by Nov 15; Turkey Scramble participants will receive a finisher medal. Awards include overall male and female 5K winners receiving a gift card and trophy, plus first place age-group awards for standard age brackets from 10 and under through 80 and up. The 5K Doggie division awards first place male and female with no age-group splits, and dog entrants are asked to start toward the back.
The event is held rain or shine; only severe weather such as lightning will cause postponement. A portion of proceeds supports local programs including holiday gift card distributions and youth assistance efforts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
