Trotting to transform our community together since Thanksgiving Day 2013
New logo, Wobble-free name? Wait. What?
Last year the Wiregrass Turkey Trot went virtual. At the same time, one of our previous hosts moved out of the Shops at Wiregrass. We decided to keep our run at Wiregrass after getting a lot of support from long-time sponsors and other partners. Staying at Wiregrass meant we had to change the name of this North Tampa Bay family-focused Thanksgiving Day tradition.
The Wiregrass Turkey Trot will be held on Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 25 at the Shops at Wiregrass. Registrants will experience all the fun, frolic and benefits you've come to expect since 2013. Register today!
Our team competition for highest number of registered Turkey Trotters is back again, too. Be sure to set up or pick your team when you register. Corporate, school and family divisions.
The starting line forms at 28139 Paseo Drive, Wesley Chapel, FL 33543. The gun goes off at 7:30 a.m. for the 5K. Runners will avoid a HART bus along the route thanks to the later start. Fly free Turkey Trotters!
