About the Event

RACE UPDATE: RACE REGISTRATION CLOSED

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. We were looking forward to hosting a record-breaking number of racers at the 15th Annual Tamarac Turkey Trot. We truly appreciate your understanding and patience as we work through the postponement of the Turkey Trot. Below are a few important updates:

Packet Pick-Up: Packets will continue to be available at Tamarac’s Welcome Desk through the end of December.
Race Bibs: Please save your race bib for the new race date. If you did not receive a bib, it was removed from your packet once the postponement was announced and will be held for you.

We are excited to announce MARCH 28, 2026, will be our rescheduled race date. More details to come on the in-person and virtual race options.

We hope you will continue to include the Tamarac Turkey Trot in your annual family Thanksgiving tradition in years to come. Please know that the funds raised from this race will continue to support health and fitness initiatives for our community.

Thank you again for your support and understanding.
