Blue Ostrich Wine Run Turkey Trot 5k

The Blue Ostrich Wine Run Turkey Trot 5k is a Thanksgiving-themed 5k run or walk held at Blue Ostrich Winery & Vineyard in Saint Jo, Texas. This is a casual winery race, not exclusively for competitive runners. Registration is open to participants aged 1 and older. The event includes chip timing, online results, a race shirt, a shatterproof wine glass, a finisher medal that doubles as a wine stopper, and a wine pour for those of legal drinking age. The course is situated entirely on the winery grounds, offering participants vineyard views and the chance to see ostriches. The presence of ostriches is rooted in the facility's history as a former ostrich breeding and ranching operation, with several ostriches still residing there. J3 Timing manages the timing services, providing official times for those focused on their race results, while others can enjoy it as a short holiday excursion with wine tasting post-race.
