About the race
The Big Turkey 5K takes place in Port Charlotte, Florida, at Centennial Park Soccer Fields (1185 Centennial Blvd). This in-person event offers a 5K race plus a virtual option, billed as Southwest Florida’s gobble-tastic and festive run. Participants enjoy a scenic, mostly flat 5K course that winds through shaded frisbee-golf trails and West Port sidewalks, touted as the area’s most unique route.
All finishers receive a Finisher’s Medal and a soft Big Turkey 5K blanket, with shirts available as an add-on. It’s a timed event with a family-friendly atmosphere and finish-line snacks, but no age-group or top-finisher awards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
