About this race

The **Arcadia-DeSoto County Habitat for Humanity 9th Annual Turkey Trot 5K** is a community-focused running event scheduled for **January 28, 2023**, in Arcadia, Florida. While traditionally a Thanksgiving event, this 9th iteration has been rescheduled for late January. This 5K race is a significant fundraiser for the Arcadia-DeSoto County Habitat for Humanity, aiming to support their mission of building homes for families in need. Participants can expect a friendly, family-oriented atmosphere, with the goal being as much about community engagement and supporting a good cause as it is about competitive running. The Turkey Trot 5K typically takes place on a **paved, out-and-back course** that winds through the scenic streets of Arcadia. Runners can anticipate relatively **flat terrain** with minimal elevation changes, making it an accessible race for runners of all skill levels, including beginners and walkers. Given the Florida location, participants should be prepared for **potentially warm and humid conditions**, even in late January, so hydration is key. While specific details for the 2023 event are limited to the date and location, previous iterations often feature festive holiday themes, and the emphasis remains on a fun, community-driven experience.
