The Thanksgiving Turkey Gobble Trot returns on Saturday, November 28, from 7:30 to 10:30 in the morning on Key Biscayne, offering a 5K, a 10K, a 13.1-mile half marathon, a family 1-mile fun run and a virtual option. Registration runs through RunSignUp starting around 30 dollars, and participants receive a race t-shirt and a finisher medal.

A scenic course that makes the miles pass

The route follows the palm-lined shore of Key Biscayne with the bay on one side and the island's calm streets on the other. The late-November morning start keeps temperatures comfortable, and the flat profile suits first-time racers and families as much as runners chasing a personal best. The fun run gives younger children a marked distance of their own.

Keep the holiday rhythm going

A Saturday-after-Thanksgiving race lets families hold onto the holiday mood a little longer, trading the pie for a morning of movement before the weekend settles down. Key Biscayne is a pleasant drive from Miami and the rest of the service area, and the island's beaches and parks make it easy to turn the day into an outing. Register in advance through RunSignUp, where the best rates and race details live.
