2026 Turkey Trot Trail 5k & 10k

LLOYD CLARKE SPORTS

 

Gainesville's annual Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day!! 

This year we are once again partnering with Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary to host our 5k & 10k trail race on Thanksgiving Day. 

Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 non-profit that was founded in 2016 by Chris and Erin Amerman. Their driving mission is to promote compassion for farm animals through rescue and education. Critter Creek is a 210-acre farm sanctuary and wildlife preserve. Approximately 125 acres of the Critter Creek facility, with its forests and natural springs, is a dedicated wildlife preserve. The remainder is set aside for rescued farm animal residents, including pigs, donkeys, and cows.

Come out to run alongside these incredible animals and see that they are no different than the companion animals we all call friends. 

The course will be 3.1 miles through the fields and forests of the sanctuary with open views of pastures as well as the twists and turns of some single track trails. The 10k runners will run the loop twice.

Packet Pick-Up - Time and Location TBD

Registration will be available the day of the race until 8:15am for $50 (no T-shirt)
