How to Enter a Thanksgiving Turkey Trot Race Giveaway
Claim a free Turkey Trot 5K spot or raffle tickets by meeting finisher, donation, and registration cutoffs.
To enter a Thanksgiving Turkey Trot giveaway, use the Sign Up entry path on the organizer race page for that free spot or raffle. A Turkey Trot giveaway means a free entry or prize drawing tied to a Thanksgiving run, not a separate sweepstakes site. You must meet the listed finisher, donation, or registration rule for that race.
A free 5K spot is a set benefit for qualifying finishers. A raffle ticket is only a chance to win, not a free entry.
