Isle of Wight Turkey Trot & Waddle 5K

Looking for a great family activity to burn off some of those Pre-Thanksgiving calories!?!? Registration is OPEN for our 4th Annual IOW Turkey Trot!

Throw on your sneakers and get outside to enjoy the fresh air and get some exercise before the Thanksgiving holiday!  

Join us on Saturday, November 21st, as we come together to run or waddle our way into the holiday season!  We hope you will sign up to participate and will invite your friends and neighbors to join us too! Have family in town from Thanksgiving, bring them!! This is a family friendly race that is open to the entire community and beyond -  both members & non-members of the club are welcome!

This race is hosted by the Isle of Wight Community Club - a small community club whose members live on or nearby to Isle of Wight. It serves as a  major fundraiser for 2026 and the proceeds will support the upkeep of the club, the addition of new programs and our outreach within the community. Your participation & support is greatly appreciated and we can't wait to come together as a community to kick off the holidays together!

Race pricing is $40.00 per person for all racers over the age of 5. There is a family bundle discount that reduces the cost by $5 per participant if four people are registered at the same time.

Race Day Details -   Onsite registration, bib pickup and pre-race festivities kick off at 9am on race day. Racers/Walkers will start assembling for line up around 9:30/9:45 and the race will begin promptly at 10am. Food & fun will immediately follow the completion of the race. The course is stroller friendly and there is no charge for children being pushed in a stroller. Walking children age 5+ should be registered as a participant. While we love our furry friends, we are unable to allow dogs (even those on a leash) to participate in the race. This is a timed event and awards will be given. Medals will be provided for the top three finishers in each age bracket as well as the top three male & female overall finishers. Costumes are welcome and encouraged! Dress up as a turkey, elf or Santa - your choice if you want to rock the Thanksgiving or Christmas theme! 

IMPORTANT - Isle of Wight Community Club is located at the end of Isle of Wight Road. Some GPS systems take you to the wrong location - there is another Fourth Street in Midway. Be sure that your GPS is taking you down Isle of Wight Road to the correct Fourth Street so you don't miss the start of the race.
