Brevard Zoo's 2nd Annual Wild Turkey Trot 3k is a family-friendly event and great way to kick off your Thanksgiving day!
Runners and walkers of all ages will traverse a course through the Zoo passing animals, their habitats and native plants along the way.
The run is set for a 7:30 a.m. start on November 26, 2026.
Registered runners get 50% off admission on Thanksgiving weekend by showing their race bib at the Zoo's main service window.
Note that Brevard Zoo is closed on Thanksgiving Day.
There is a one hour cut off for all runners. The one hour limit begins from the time you start the race. You will be escorted off the course is you do not finish the course by your designated end time.
A water/Gatorade station is along the route and at our start and finish line areas.
Prizes will be awarded to the Top 10 overall male and female finishers and Top 5 overall male and female for the 11years and under division. ALL finishers will receive a beautiful turkey-themed medal and commemorative running hat.
