About this adventure
Now celebrating its 46th annual edition, the Tamarac Turkey Trot is one of South Florida's most enduring and beloved Thanksgiving morning traditions, welcoming over 2,400 participants annually to Tamarac City Hall. The certified 5K loop carries runners through quiet tree-lined suburban neighborhoods along Pine Island Road, complete with neighborhood cheer squads, live DJ entertainment, and energetic pre-race warmups on the lawn. Families with jogging strollers and wagons are warmly accommodated in the walk corrals. One of the highlights is the wildly creative costume competition, where children and parents dress up as giant roasted turkeys, pilgrims, and pumpkin pies to compete for prizes before heading home for dinner.
