Clearwater is getting ready for the Tampa Bay Turkey Trot, a cherished Thanksgiving custom. The city is informing residents of road closures to ensure participant safety as the 5K and one-mile run are scheduled to go through the southeast neighborhoods. Details of the temporary shutdown, scheduled for Thursday, November 28 from 6 to 10 a.m., have been made public by the City of Clearwater.
People in the community should be prepared for disruptions and are encouraged to either plan ahead for additional travel time or depart early to avoid the turmoil. A heads up if you’re planning to drive anywhere close to Keene Road, Hercules Avenue, or Nursery Road for Thanksgiving. Additionally, you must deal with possible traffic jams on Magnolia Drive, Sandra Drive, Sever Drive, Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, Druid Road, Lakeview Road, and Eastfield Drive. For the nimble of feet and the joyous spirit, the trot promises to temporarily retake the streets.
If you live along the Turkey Trot’s path, be aware that the sound of running shoes will be the day’s music as your neighborhood becomes a place of rivalry and friendship. In addition to being a challenge for fitness fanatics, the yearly event gives families a pre-feast workout and a chance to burn off some calories before Thanksgiving.
According to the City of Clearwater website, Clearwater authorities emphasize that these road closures are an essential precaution “to ensure the safety of participants,” and they ask residents to be understanding and cooperative.
