About the Event

The Big Turkey 5K – Southwest Florida's Most Gobble-tastic Race!

Get ready to wobble before you gobble at The Big Turkey 5K! This ain't your average turkey trot—it's Southwest Florida’s funniest, feathery, and most festive run of the year! Whether you sprint like a startled turkey or strut like a well-fed one, this race is all about fun, fitness, and (let’s be honest) making room for that extra slice of pie.

🦃 What to Expect:
✅ A scenic 5K course with enough space to spread your wings
✅ A finish line feast (okay, snacks…but we promise they’re good!)
✅ The chance to outrun The Big Turkey (he’s fast, but you’ve got this!)

So grab your family, your friends, and that one uncle who swears he “used to run back in the day,” and join us for The Big Turkey 5K—where the only thing getting stuffed this year is the bird! 🍗🏃‍♂️💨

This is event is structured to be a fun family tradition, this is a timed 5K, but there will be no age group or top finisher's awards. All finishers WILL receive a Finisher's Medal and super soft Big Turkey 5K blanket. Shirts are available as an add on.
