About this adventure

South Florida's largest and longest-running Thanksgiving tradition, the Baptist Health Turkey Trot Miami gathers more than 8,000 runners, walkers, and costumed families at Tropical Park on Thanksgiving morning. The USATF-certified 5K and 10K courses loop through the park and finish on the stadium track, while young runners celebrate in the Baptist Health Kids Trot, offering age-divided dash distances (100m to 1 mile) for toddlers through age 12. The wide park paths are fully stroller-friendly, allowing parents with jogging strollers to participate comfortably from designated rear corrals. The post-race Holiday Finish Festival features the giant inflatable 'Perky Turkey' photo station, bounce houses, face painting, lawn games, and complimentary holiday refreshments before everyone heads home for family feasts.
