The Get Basted Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving-season race series offering 5K, 10K, 15K, and half marathon options, including virtual versions of each distance. This is the event's second year, and it is designed so runners can select any distance from a short holiday run to a half marathon without changing events.
The route details are not specified, but the race format is straightforward: in-person and virtual runners can select from the same distance options. Basic entry remains inexpensive, with race-day pricing only slightly higher. Shirts, hoodies, and finisher medals are optional purchases. A distinctive feature is the give-back program: volunteers receive five free race entries, and runners who completed one of the organizer's qualifying races during the year can claim a free 5K spot in an in-person Turkey Trot. This tradition started as a way to thank participants who had raced with the group throughout the season.
