The scenic out-and-back course weaves through historic Gruene and along the tree-canopied roads of New Braunfels beside the Guadalupe River. Costumed participants chase a giant plush Turkey mascot, culminating in an adorable 1/4-mile Kids Turkey Chase for little sprinters. All proceeds fund community outreach programs including Green Santa and Blue Santa holiday gift drives for local children. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Paved Hill Country roadway course is fully stroller and wagon friendly; strollers start near the front-rear boundary of the casual walking pack. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Restrooms and shaded wooden porch seating available outside Gruene Hall and surrounding historic country stores. • Age Suitability: All ages; untimed 1/4-mile Kids Turkey Chase is tailored specifically for children ages 12 and under. • Sensory Tips: Festive acoustic folk tunes and cheering crowds around Gruene Hall; rural stretches of Hunter Road provide peaceful autumn Hill Country scenery. ## Similar picks in San Antonio - [Comal Cops for Kids 18th Annual Gruene Turkey Trot 5K & Kids Turkey Chase](https://grassyknees.com/san-antonio/activities/comal-cops-for-kids-18th-annual-gruene-turkey-trot-5k-and-kids-turkey--listing-5306eeb4a3484f9685890b51) — Thu, Nov 26 · 8:30 AM · Gruene Hall, New Braunfels · All ages · From $30 · checked Oct 30.
