Turkey Trot Frequently Asked Questions

  • Absolutely! We offer multiple distance options including fun walks, and the event welcomes all fitness levels. Many families participate together, and strollers and wheelchairs are accommodated on designated routes. The emphasis is on fun and community rather than competition.

  • Typical options include a 5K run/walk  for more experienced runners, and a shorter family fun walk (usually 1-2 miles). Exact distances and routes are confirmed closer to the event date, with all routes designed to showcase Hawaii’s beautiful scenery safely.

  • Costumes are encouraged and add to the festive atmosphere, but they’re completely optional. Many participants wear turkey hats, pilgrim outfits, or creative Thanksgiving themes. Safety is most important, so any costume should allow for safe running and visibility.

  • Registration typically includes race timing, a commemorative t-shirt, post-race refreshments, and access to all festival activities. Some packages may include additional items like turkey trot medals or local vendor discounts. Specific inclusions are detailed during registration.

  • Day-of registration may be available depending on capacity, but we strongly recommend advance registration to guarantee your spot and t-shirt size. Early registration often includes discounts and ensures you receive all event materials and information.
