Turkey Trot Frequently Asked Questions

Is the turkey trot suitable for beginners and families?
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.
What distances are available for the turkey trot?
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.
Are costumes required or just encouraged?
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.
What's included with registration?
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.
Can I register on race day?
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.

Fabulous Road to Hana 7

We did the Road to Hana tour in Maui and it was amazing. We took so many beautiful pictures. Our tour guides name was Kalei, he made the tour great, he was very informative and made sure we knew when to have our camera ready. I would definitely request Kalei from Hawaiian tours to be our guide if we ever make it back to Maui 7.
