Race Information:
The Suntree Turkeytrot 5K and 10K has been a holiday tradition each Thanksgiving morning at the Suntree Country Club for the past 13 years under the direction of Steve and Tandy Baerst.   It was with mixed emotions that Steve and Tandy decided to step down as race organizers.  As a result, we are excited to announce that the Suntree Turkey Trot will become a Running Zone Foundation event for 2017.  We are extremely thankful that Steve and Tandy had the confidence and trust in Running Zone Foundation to allow us to assume the race responsibilities of such a wonderful holiday tradition.

The Suntree Turkeytrot has always reached capacity due to the venue.  One of our exciting plans for 2017 is to move the venue to Front Street Civic Center near Downtown Melbourne.  Since the race is no longer in Suntree, we also changed the name to the Space Coast Turkey Trot to allow us more flexibility in venue selection.  Please take a look at some of our exciting plans below for 2017:
