AdventHealth Groveland Turkey Trot 5K & 10K presented by LiveTrends Design Group

Let’s burn off as many calories as possible before the bird even comes out of the oven! 🦃✨Join FloDash runners and walkers for the 7th Annual AdventHealth Groveland Turkey Trot 5K & 10K presented by LiveTrends Design Group as we kick off Thanksgiving morning with a nationwide tradition for the whole family.

Our scenic course showcases Groveland's beautiful hills along Wilson Lake Parkway, with closed roads thanks to the incredible support of Lake County, the City of Groveland, and the Groveland Police Department. For those tackling the 10K, a portion of the course includes hard-packed off-road terrain, which will remain open to cars but will be clearly marked for your safety.

Whether you’re running or walking, this event promises a fun and festive way to start your Thanksgiving. View the course map below and follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates. Start your holiday strong and make memories with FloDash this Thanksgiving! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🍁

All participants will receive a chip timed bib, a race shirt, a finisher's medal and a post race snack and beverage. All runners and walkers on the course MUST BE REGISTERED.  Anyone running without a bib is subjecting themselves to a misdemeanor and putting the race in jeopardy.  If you want to pace a child, spouse or friend, you MUST register as well. BANDIT AND PACING RULES

There may be race day registration if we are not sold out but the price does go up so register early and save. Please read our refund /exchange bib policy and our Frequently Asked Questions to get all the information you need. There are no refunds, but we do have a generous exchange policy.

WE HAVE THE BEST REFERRAL REWARDS!!! FloDash Events will refund you $20 as a thank you when you get 5 friends to sign up using the referral link you receive with your registration confirmation email.

Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks for everything you have in your life. To many, it's also about giving back. We will conduct a collection of non perishables during packet pickup and race day that will be delivered to the local non profit the  FAITH Neighborhood Center to help feed local families during the Christmas Holiday. In addition, donations made will also benefit The Neighborhood Center of South Lake.

  Pacing & Bandit Policy for Our Events  

To keep our races safe and fair, we have rules for pacing and unregistered participants. Here’s what you need to know:

•   No Unregistered Pacers: If you’re a registered runner being paced by someone who hasn’t paid to participate, you will be disqualified, and the unregistered pacer will be asked to leave the course. They may also receive an invoice for their participation.
•   Guides for Athletes with Disabilities: We’re committed to making our races accessible. If you’re pacing or guiding an athlete with a disability, please reach out to us in advance. We’ll work with you to approve guides on a case-by-case basis.
  
  
•   Everyone on Course Needs a Bib & Waiver: For safety and accountability, all participants (whether pacing or racing) must have an assigned bib and signed waiver—NO EXCEPTIONS! If you’d like to pace a friend, spouse, or child, you must register and pay to join them. If a non-paid runner has a medical emergency, we have no way of identifying them or notifying emergency contacts, which creates serious liability risks. JUST DON'T DO IT!
  
  
•   Race Bandits Policy: Anyone running part or all of the course without a registration and bib is considered a "race bandit." We know some people think, “I don’t need a shirt or medal, so why pay?” The registration fee covers much more than these items—it funds the entire race experience, from course marking and volunteer coordination to hiring medics, announcers, and police. If you are caught, you will be banned from future FloDash Events races.
  
  
•  No Unauthorized Pacers on Vehicles: Any pacers using scooters, bikes, or motorbikes must receive clearance from us before race day. This is for the safety of all participants and to ensure we know who is on the course at all times. Unauthorized vehicles will be asked to leave the course.  

Thank you for respecting these rules and helping us maintain a safe, fun, and fair race for all participants!    

PACKET PICKUP:

• Tuesday Nov 25th and Wednesday Nov 26th 2PM - 6PM @ Dash Sports 741 W Montrose Street, Downtown Clermont. If you are unable to pick up your packet at early packet pick up, you may have a friend or family member pick up for you. All participants receive a QR code via email with their registration confirmation.
• Race day morning at the race venue from 6:00am-7:00am. 
• THERE IS NO POST RACE PACKET PICKUP
• Emails go out race week with up to date information and any last minute changes. Please look out for this information 

VIRTUAL PACKETS: 
Virtual participants will have a digital bib emailed to them. Packets will be automatically mailed within two weeks after the live date. Virtual results can be uploaded to Run Signup after completing the distance, but not required. Virtual runners/walkers may not show up to run the event live on November 28th.
