Hosted at the grand Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center, the morning kicks off with a spirited 1-Mile Fun Run where kids can dash across the finish line to earn commemorative turkey medals. Following the fun run, the 5K event leads participants on an invigorating journey past scenic river vistas, historic bridges, and downtown architectural landmarks before returning to celebratory post-race festivities featuring fresh fruit slices, water stations, and music. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Smooth paved asphalt and concrete riverfront boardwalks provide seamless gliding for all single, double, and jogging strollers throughout the 5K and 1-mile courses. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Indoor convention center restrooms feature clean changing tables, climate-controlled comfort, and quiet cushioned seating alcoves away from the race crowds. • Age Suitability: Welcoming for all ages, with the 1-Mile Fun Run specifically crafted for children ages 3 to 10 and strollers warmly encouraged in the 5K back corrals. • Sensory Tips: Upbeat starting line music, air horns, and cheering crowds create morning excitement; quieter walking areas can be accessed along the perimeter lawn of the convention center. ## Similar picks in Jacksonville - [Community First Thanksgiving Distance Classic and One Mile Turkey Trot](https://grassyknees.com/jacksonville/activities/community-first-thanksgiving-distance-classic-and-one-mile-turkey-trot--listing-7d8584e2d4be651a815a3f20) — Thu, Nov 26 · 6:50 AM · Pickwick Plaza · All ages · From $21 · checked Oct 30.
