Turkey Trot Miami - Turkey Day Run Miami
The Life Time Turkey Trot Miami is a Thanksgiving Day running event at Tropical Park in Miami offering multiple distances and a kids course. Distances include:
- 5K
- 10K
- Kids Trot (ages 2–9)
The 5K and 10K use a course within Tropical Park with central start, finish, and a themed Finish Festival. The event uses staggered wave starts with corrals assigned by estimated pace: Corral A (8:25 per mile and under), Corral B (8:26 to 10:30 per mile), Corral C (10:31 and over), and Corral D for strollers and walkers. Wristbands are required for Corrals A and B; participants may move to a slower corral, and moving up requires verification at Packet Pickup.
Registrants receive a finisher medal, race t-shirt, post-race food and refreshments, and access to the Finish Festival. Finish Festival features games, a Kids Zone with face painting and a bounce house, a beer garden for 21+, sponsor giveaways, oversized yard games, and a photo opportunity with a 20-foot Perky Turkey. Awards and a prize purse are provided for top finishers.
The event is wheelchair friendly and welcomes para-athletes. A small complimentary gear check is available using the clear bag issued at Packet Pickup; unclaimed items are donated. The race supports group and charity participation and participates in the Baptist Health Pineapple Race Series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
