Conceived in 2011, the Memorial Cardiac & Vascular Institute Fort Lauderdale Turkey Trot has grown from humble beginnings of a few hundred to thousands of walkers, joggers, and runners all gathered along A1A on Thanksgiving morning. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a first-timer, experienced, or seasoned; the 5k run is the perfect prelude to your holiday meal.
