10th Annual LTEF Hill Country Turkey Trot
About the race
Each year, the Hill Country Turkey Trot brings together over 2,300 participants, including competitive runners, casual joggers, walkers, families with strollers, and even four-legged friends. It is a fun, family-friendly event and one of the largest gatherings in the Lake Travis area.
The race offers a certified 5K course through the Signature Golf Course at The Hills Country Club, which makes the run as scenic as it is exciting. A 1-mile course on The Hills Signature Gold Course is available for those who prefer a more relaxed pace.
This event is a fantastic way to show community spirit while engaging with a broad audience.
