The 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run are not capped at this time.

There are no pacers for the Baton Rouge Turkey Trot 5K or the 1-Mile Fun Run.  

Runners will self-seed in corrals according to their expected finish times.  Corrals with pace signs will be marked in the start chute.  The faster runners will be in the front, the slower runners will be in the back. All corrals have the same race start time with no set time gaps or delays between the corrals. Please pay attention to race announcements, on-site signage and instructions.

Per USA Track & Field rules, elements that could impede the safety of runners, such as bikes, skates, skateboards, strollers and pets on the course, are not allowed. The safety of our runners is our number one priority.
