Mr
A lot of people. Course start need to be corralled or different start and finish locations

A place to come back to time after time.
Good, flat, fast course with pleasant views of the river. Wave start was a good way to control crowding at the start line. Great weather and great turnout.

Our First Turkey Trot in SA
We loved it! Huge participant turnout and well organized. Communication was clear and effective via email. Packet pickup went smoothly with several location options. Parking was great and facilities were sufficient. The event was family friendly and my daughter felt safe enough to speed up ahead of us. So we really had a wonderful time. This will be our new tradition in SA. Thank you & well done!
Amazing!
Great experience. Will most definitely do it again next year.

Good fun race
Good 5k race. Fairly flat but some hills to keep it interesting. I agree with the other reviews that corrals to start the race would've helped with congestion.

Fantastic Event!

Bravo ! This was an amazing race with so many entrants and it was so much fun navigating through the crowd during the race :) It reminded me of running from one period to another while in high school. There was so much excitement in the air both on the route and in the staging area. The folks from HEB were absolutely professional in their manner of taking care of all participant's needs. I mean, it was super simple to pick up my packet on race day, to get my shirt and there were plenty of healthy snacks and refreshments. Plus the parking was amazingly convenient. Wow! I got to park at the Commander's House parking :) The route was beautiful and had plenty of turns along with a long stretch in which I was able to "turn on the jets" and really get into my lean and rhythm. My mantra was "We're Running to Feed those in Need" and I don't know but somehow I got the sense that "everyone" was running with the same frame of mind. I will definitely be doing this race again!

Fun course, but messy start
In the future, participants need to be corralled according to speed. Lots of walkers were in the front of the herd and it made for a dangerous start, with the puddles. Maybe splitting lanes to accommodate faster people with and without strollers and dogs.

Virtual Turkey Trot
I received an email the day before the Trot and quickly registered. There were some questions that came up but were immediately handled by Ms. Soler. I ran the Trot on Thanksgiving Day in El Paso while I visited family. It was easy submitting my Fitbit time and results. I hope to run the Trot in San Antonio next year. Thank you.

Organized and fast 5K route.
Family and I had a blast running this race! Our family group spans not just age but race pace and this was a fun and fast 5k that is great for all levels. We will definitely be back next year.
Show me the Results
I'm not the fastest, but I'm a finisher. this is the first time I've run this race and cannot find my stats. This is disappointing. My bib was #61, and my Garmin tells me I ran/walked it in 43:20. It appears that the posted times only go up to 36 minutes? WOW, that leaves out a lot of people trying to do better.

Turkey Trot 2022
Loved this race route! Relatively flat, lots of beautiful and historical sites to see including the Alamo, Hemisphere Park, and King William District. I greatly enjoyed it.
First Time -Great Experience
This was our first Turkey Trot. My husband and I ran some but walked more and had a fantastic time. We're spreading the word and will be back next year with more of our friends and family. Awesome job by all the sponsors. We appreciated the added bonus of receiving a metal. Great job everyone!

Running Vaquero
What an amazing event and it's all for the San Antonio Food Bank which services an area far larger than just the San Antonio Metropolitan area. The event was well organized and the atmosphere was upbeat and almost felt like NIOSA with runners from all ages and all abilities. The course was through downtown and into the historic district known as "South Town". Parking was so very convenient and packet pickup was quick and close to parking. There were so many volunteers that helped with anything and with a smile. There were plenty of nutritious snacks and drinks, lots of photo opportunities, plenty of port-0-potties and festive music reverberated throughout the event. The race start was well organized and the course was a fast one where anyone could achieve a personal best plus it was measured professionally accurate. Finally, the results were immediate as runners were crossing the finish line. Your could either go to iaapweb.com and see the live results or your could use the QR code posted at the staging area and "BAM" there were your results! This event shows that the San Antonio running community can come together to help feed thousands of families during this Thanksgiving time of year. I will definitely recommend this event to friends and familia :)
