Join in for the 11th annual Turkey Trot at Waterset on Thanksgiving morning on Thursday, November 26, at 9 a.m. Proceeds of the Turkey Trot will benefit our local public schools: Doby Elementary, Eisenhower Middle School, East Bay High School and the Dorothy C. York Innovation Academy.<\/p>\n

The race is chip-timed and a flat course. Want to participate virtually? No problem. Just sign up for the virtual 5K. However, virtual participant race packets are not guaranteed to arrive prior to Thanksgiving morning.<\/p>\n

Registration is required. Register at https:\/\/runsignup.com\/race\/events\/fl\/apollobeach\/turkeytrotatwaterset<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 5K participants will each receive a race bib, race T-shirt and finisher\u2019s medal.<\/p>\n

The Kids\u2019 Fun Run participants will each receive a race bib, race T-shirt and medal.<\/p>\n

The 5K and Kids\u2019 Fun Run will start at approximately 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., respectively.<\/p>\n

The 5K race route will be the same route as years past: north and south on Waterset Blvd. starting by The Lakeside, located at 7250 Parkshore Dr. in Apollo Beach.<\/p>\n

The Kids\u2019 Fun Run routes will be the same as last year: 1-mile, half-mile and, for the little ones, a special mini route.<\/p>\n

Strollers are welcome, but guests are asked to please go to the back of the starting line so the competitive participants can start first.<\/p>\n

Pets are not allowed due to the growing size of the race. This new rule is simply to ensure the safety of all participants.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to keep your distance when you walk\/run, feel free to stay back and let participants start, and then you can start your race. Since it\u2019s chip-timed, your time won\u2019t start until you cross the starting line.<\/p>\n

Online sign-up is available through November 26; however, shirts and specific sizes may not be available and are not guaranteed after Wednesday, November 4. The 5K Dri-FIT T-shirts are available in adult and youth sizes. The Kids\u2019 Fun Run T-shirts are also Dri-FIT this year, with youth sizes available.<\/p>\n

The 5K registration prices will increase on Sunday, November 1, and then again on Monday, November 23. Kids\u2019 Fun Run registration will also increase on November 1.<\/p>\n
