About this event
Lace up your sneakers and start Thanksgiving morning the right way at the 30A 10K Thanksgiving Day Races — celebrating 15 years of the Emerald Coast's beloved coastal turkey trot. Three USATF-certified courses wind through the scenic beauty of Scenic Highway 30A and the charming village of Rosemary Beach, offering a distance for everyone: a 10K (7:30am), a 5K (9:30am), and a family-friendly 1-Mile Fun Run (7:35am).
After crossing the finish line, the real celebration begins. The post-race party features a live DJ, vendor booths, breakfast bites, and a complimentary Bloody Mary and Mimosa bar — the perfect reward before the turkey dinner. Every finisher takes home a custom medal and soft commemorative race shirt. Over 15 years, this race series has raised more than $1 million for local families and children in need.
Best for: Runners of all levels, families, anyone looking for a festive Thanksgiving morning tradition on the Emerald Coast
