🦃🍂 Sometimes Even a Wild Turkey Has to Change Course!

While we don’t offer refunds for any reason, don’t ruffle your feathers—your registration doesn’t have to go to waste! You’ve got 4 wild options:

1. 📦 Go Virtual! — Switch to virtual and we’ll mail your Wild Turkey Trails swag to you. $15 shipping per person.
2. 🦃 Send a Friend! — A friend or family member can pick up your race goodies on race day. Be sure they request your finisher medal, as medals are not normally handed out at Packet Pickup.
3. 🏃 Pass the Turkey! — Transfer, sell, or gift your registration to a friend or family member at no additional cost.
4. ❤️ Do Some Good! — Donate your registration to our Charity Partner and turn your missed race into something meaningful.

No. Southwestway Park does not allow us to close the park to the public during the race.

Please be cautious and aware of other park visitors and trail bikers who may be sharing the trails with you. 🚴‍♂️🥾

We’ll place “Race in Progress” warning signs throughout the course to help alert other trail users.

Share the trail, stay alert, and GET WILD! 🦃🌲🍂

WILD TURKEY YES! 🦃🌲 Every registered finisher receives a Wild Turkey Trails Finisher Medal—with different medals for the Half Marathon & 5K! 🏅

👕 Want the ultra-soft long-sleeve tech shirt too? Register early to guarantee your desired shirt size before it sells out! 🦃🌲

GET WILD. GET DIRTY. CRUSH THE TRAIL! 🦃🌲🍂

5K: There will be no water stops on the 5K course, so if you need hydration while you’re getting wild, be sure to bring your own water bottle! 💦🏃

Half Marathon: We plan to have 1–3 pit stops along the course. Please stay tuned as we finalize and update the all-new 2026 Half Marathon course! 🌲🦃

The course will be similar to the former Turkey Legs Half Marathon course, with some new course changes for 2026!

We’ll also have plenty of FREE bottled water before and after the race for our runners and walkers! 💧🍂

The Wild Turkey Trails Half Marathon has a generous 5-hour time limit! That works out to roughly a 22:53-per-mile pace, making it friendly for runners, run/walkers, and walkers.

Take your time, enjoy the trails, and GET WILD! 🦃🍂🌲

Similar—but not exactly! 🌲 The new Wild Turkey Trails Half Marathon will use much of the former Turkey Legs Half Marathon course, but we’re planning a few course changes for 2026.

We’re still putting the finishing touches on the new route, so stay tuned for the official 2026 course map! 🦃🌲🏃

No scheduled break pauses this time! Unlike the former Turkey Legs Trifecta, the Wild Turkey Trails Half Marathon is one continuous 13.1-mile event. 🌲🏃

You can run, walk, or do a combination of both throughout the course—run/walk strategies are common in half marathons.

⏱️ You’ll have a generous 5-hour time limit to complete the Half Marathon.

No stopping between race segments—just keep moving forward at your own pace until you cross that finish line! 🦃🏅🌲

Yes! 🌲 The Wild Turkey Trails 5K course will be very similar to the former Turkey Legs 5K course, with a few possible updates for 2026.

We’re putting the finishing touches on the course now, so stay tuned for the official 2026 course map! 🦃🍂🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

📍 Southwestway Park
8400 Mann Rd.
Indianapolis, IN 46221

There is limited parking near the Start/Finish Line, so we recommend arriving early! ⏰

Once those spaces fill up, overflow parking will be available across Mann Road.

Arrive early, park, and get ready to GET WILD on the trails! 🦃🌲🏃

WILD TURKEY YES!!! 🦃🌲 This is Wild Turkey Trails—a little Indiana weather and some extra mud just add to the trail-running adventure!

Rain, mud, wind, snow, sleet or freezing cold… WE GET WILD & HIT THE TRAILS! 🏃‍♀️🌲🏃‍♂️

⚡ The race will only be delayed for lightning or a tornado.

Dress for the weather, embrace the mud, and GET WILD. GET DIRTY. CRUSH THE TRAIL! 🦃🌲🍂

Sorry, no dogs are allowed on the race course. 🐕🚫

The trails are narrow, and for the safety of all our runners and walkers, we ask that you leave your four-legged running buddies at home.

Thanks for helping us keep the trails safe for everyone! 🦃🌲

Yes! Kids are welcome to register for either the 5K or Half Marathon. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Just keep in mind that these are real trail courses and some sections can be technically difficult, so please make sure your child is properly prepared and comfortable with trail running before signing them up.

Little turkeys are welcome—just make sure they’re ready to GET WILD & GET DIRTY! 🦃🌲🍂

Sorry, no strollers are allowed on the course. 🚫👶

These are true trail courses with roots, rocks, uneven terrain, and narrow sections. Some portions are also out-and-back, making the trails simply too difficult and tight to safely push a stroller.

Leave the stroller at home and come ready to GET WILD. GET DIRTY. CRUSH THE TRAIL! 🦃🌲🍂

Get ready for a true trail-running adventure! These courses include roots, rocks, uneven terrain, narrow trails, and out-and-back sections.

🍂 And it’s FALL! Expect lots of leaves covering the trails, which can make roots, rocks, and uneven footing a little harder to see—so watch your step and embrace the adventure!

⛰️ Half Marathoners—expect some hills! The Half Marathon will give you an extra dose of climbing and challenging trail terrain.

👟 Trail shoes are highly recommended, and be prepared for changing trail conditions—especially if Mother Nature brings us some rain and mud!

🗺️ Stay tuned! We’re finalizing the new 2026 Wild Turkey Trails course maps and will share them soon.

GET WILD. GET DIRTY. CRUSH THE TRAIL! 🦃🌲🍂
