About this race
The Galveston Island Turkey Trot is an annual 5K run and walk on Galveston Island, Texas. It starts on the island’s famous Seawall and offers runners a flat route with open Gulf Coast views.
The finish is in front of Menard Park, near the beach side of town. The event is part of a local race series, and its short distance and walk-friendly format make it a simple holiday run for families, casual runners, and anyone wanting a coastal 5K before the rest of the day starts.
