Benefiting Caritas of Austin to end homelessness, the event features a chip-timed 5-mile run, a non-timed 5-mile stroll, a 1-mile family walk, and the high-energy Stepping Stone School Kids' K where young trotters receive official finisher medals and superhero capes. Families gather on the Long Center terrace for live local Austin music, costume contests (giant turkeys, pilgrim hats, and pumpkin tutus), complimentary fruit and bagels, and post-race family celebrations overlooking the downtown skyline. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Strollers and jogger wagons are enthusiastically welcomed in the designated stroller wave following the competitive runners. The 1-mile and 5-mile routes follow broad paved roadway corridors along Riverside Drive and South 1st Street. • Nursing & Rest Spots: The Long Center for the Performing Arts provides heated indoor lobby restrooms with baby changing stations, accessible ramps, and quiet family rest seating. • Age Suitability: Perfect for all ages, from infants in running strollers to teenagers and grandparents. The Kids' K is custom-designed for children ages 12 and under. • Sensory Tips: The starting line area is loud with music, announcers, and cheering crowds. Families with sensory-sensitive children can stage near the rear lawn of Butler Park for open space. ## Similar picks in Austin - [ThunderCloud Subs Turkey Trot (with Stepping Stone School Kids K)](https://grassyknees.com/austin/activities/thundercloud-subs-turkey-trot-with-stepping-stone-school-kids-k--listing-e2761e387d73e38e066eefcf) — Thu, Nov 26 · 8:15 AM – 12:00 PM · Long Center for the Performing Arts · Paid · checked Oct 20.
