Fort Lauderdale Turkey Trot & Kids Fun Run (Las Olas Oceanside Park)

About this adventure

Set directly along the scenic Atlantic Ocean coastline on Route A1A, the Fort Lauderdale Turkey Trot is Broward County's premier coastal Thanksgiving morning run. Starting and finishing at Las Olas Oceanside Park, the flat, breezy out-and-back 5K course delivers panoramic ocean views, sea breezes, and an upbeat holiday atmosphere with music and enthusiastic spectators cheering every mile. The race is exceptionally accommodating for family joggers, welcoming strollers and wagons on the wide coastal boulevard. Little turkeys participate in the spirited Kids Fun Run, and all finishers receive a high-relief Thanksgiving turkey medal and refreshments right on the beach lawn. Proceeds support local youth health and education programs through the i9 Sports Association.
