Welcome to our second annual Turkey Trot, Virtual 1-mile Gobble Wobble, and 5k event! Join us in person at Ferry Park, Fort Walton Beach in your best Thanksgiving-themed attire, or run at your own leisure with the newly added virtual option for the 1-mile Gobble Wobble and 5k! This year’s proceeds will benefit the expansion and building fund for a new Montessori Learning Center campus slated to open Fall 2022!  We’ve taken extra care this year to implement COVID-19 mitigation protocols to improve participant health and safety. View these protocols in detail in the course map image in the photo gallery section. Even with these protocols, this event will be a ton of fun with music and goodies from all of our incredible sponsors!  Each registrant will receive a reusable Runner's tote, runner bib, and Turkey Trot t-shirt.  In-person 5k runners will have detailed instructions about our staggered start on race day.  Each heat will be indicated by a colored label on your race bib and a designated call time.  Please read your instructions and know your heat and call time! This will greatly assist our staff in the smooth execution of this race structure.

5K is a times race with medals for the two overall top finishers (Overall Male/Overall Female) as well as Male/Female Age Group winners!
 
Virtual participants must submit proof of time by midnight 11/14 for consideration in the virtual medal awards for Overall Male and Female finishers.  For the 1-mile Fun run, everyone is a winner!
 
 
The covid-19 pandemic has created an ever-changing environment, but we are closely working with local government and monitoring the most recent CDC recommendations.  With these considerations, we are confident that we will be able to put on an excellent event with mindful attention to health and safety. 
 
Montessori Learning Center’s #1 priority is protecting the well-being of our community as best we can!
