Welcome to the 15th Annual Joplin Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk in Downtown Joplin presented by Freeman Health System! Runners and walkers are encouraged to join us on Thanksgiving morning for what has become a family tradition for many. This CERTIFIED 5K course begins and ends right in front of the Schroeder Family Exploreum, which is closed to traffic. Participants of the 5K will enjoy a super soft event shirt,  AMAZING FINISHER MEDAL, chip timing, start/finish line announcing by BoCa Enterprises, music by Resonation, donuts, and coffee. As Joplin’s largest 5K, this is a race you don’t want to miss!
