Thanksgiving Turkey Trots in Pinellas
Your guide to Thanksgiving Turkey Trot runs around St. Pete-Clearwater
Turkey Trots are a fun way to kick off Thanksgiving and are a tradition for many families.
I have memories of the Turkey Trot being a big event even when I was a kid in the area. There was a yearly contest for Pinellas 5th graders to design that year’s Turkey Trot t-shirt logo and it was a very. big. deal (I definitely did not win).
When I tried looking up Turkey Trots near me for this year, I was disappointed that the lists that popped up only had the few big ones around the greater Tampa Bay area.
Our list of Pinellas Turkey Trots also highlights smaller local runs and area running club runs. We hope this will help you find the best fit for your Thanksgiving run. We also include a few races that take place the weekend after Thanksgiving.
