Tamarac Turkey Trot

The Tamarac Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving morning 5K race beginning at Tamarac City Hall in Tamarac, Florida. This city-sponsored event has a history spanning over forty years and attracts a wide range of local participants, not exclusively competitive athletes. Runners, walkers, wheelchair users, families, novices, and age-group competitors are welcome, with recent participation numbering around 2,500 individuals. The route follows a straightforward 5K from the City Hall starting point, with the event focused on both completion and community involvement. Participants wearing a bib receive a medal, the initial 2,000 registered individuals obtain a commemorative shirt, and awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers overall, as well as age-group victors. The morning program also features live music, fitness-related vendors, and door prizes, functioning as a holiday gathering alongside the race.
