Bradenton Runners Club Turkey Trot

The Bradenton Runners Club Turkey Trot is an annual 3-mile fun run and walk held on Thanksgiving morning at Robinson Preserve in Bradenton, Florida. Now in its 28th year, the event offers a scenic course starting at the preserve's south entrance, featuring natural trails with some uneven terrain. Registration fees are age-based, with nominal costs to support local charities, including the Food Bank of Manatee and Turning Points, which assist with hunger relief and homelessness.

Participants are encouraged to donate food or clothing on race day. The race is untimed, family-friendly, and emphasizes community spirit and charitable giving during the holiday season. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
