Race Information
The Southernmost Turkey Trot is a festive Thanksgiving tradition in Key West, featuring a scenic 5K run and a casual 1‑mile “Rooster Romp” walk‑run starting and ending at the iconic Southernmost Point Buoy. Hosted by Mile 0 Events in support of Reef Relief, the family‑friendly event offers participants a soft adult t‑shirt, youth shirt, festive finisher medal, a 21+ mimosa, and photos with mascot Dash, followed by a cheerful post‑race celebration at the nearby Southernmost Point Bar. Runners seeking an extra challenge can opt for the “Double Trot” by pairing it with the Hogs Breath Hogs Trot. Military families receive a special HERO discount, and both timed and untimed options are available, with strollers welcome in the final corral.
