Turkey riders are a frequent sight.
We think it's an ear of corn coming across the finish line but nobody's really sure.

Costumes are the order of the day!
Okay so it's not a turkey but flamingos are acceptable headgear at the Turkey Trot!
The annual Turkey Trot is a family affair.
Better get your costume ready!

RACE HISTORY
The Seniors First Turkey Trot began in 1989 with less than 200 runners in downtown Orlando. Now, 35 years later, it has become one of the oldest and largest 5k fun runs in the city boasting an average of 4,500 runners and hundreds more lining the race route to cheer them on.
Past year's events have drawn participants from 35 states and four different countries all united in a Race to End Senior Hunger, support Meals on Wheels and more. This year's Turkey Trot promises to be even bigger!
