Run Miami’s Turkey Trot Tradition Sells Out At 4,500

The Thanksgiving morning tradition of running prior to eating turkey continues to grow as runners as young as two years of age showed up at Tropical Park for the annual Turkey Trot 5K/10K.
The family oriented event featured a sold out crowd of 4,500 in the 5K and 10K and had a record number of over 300 children between the ages of 2-9 for its highly recognized Chobani Champions Kids Trot. Participants were welcomed by clear skies and 70 degrees weather with a morning warm-up and stretch by Miami Fit Body Boot Camp. Donna Richardson-Joyner, got the race started at 7:30 AM accompanied by the event’s kid-friendly Timmy the Turkey mascot. Participants ran throughout the park, its equestrian center, and ending in the stadium which is best known for hosting events as prestigious as the Junior Olympics and USA National Track and Field Championships. Upon crossing the finish line, participants were welcomed into a post race festival featuring live music, delicious Flan deserts from Pollo Tropical, Chobani Champions yogurt among many other celebratory components. The event concluded with an award ceremony honoring all overall and age-group award winners.
