Rapahope's 17th annual Turkey Trot for Hope starts and finishes at Mardi Gras Park in downtown Mobile on Thanksgiving morning. The certified 5K starts at 8:00 AM and the roughly one mile Gobble Wobble fun run starts at 9:00 AM. Registration supports Rapahope's free camps for families affected by childhood cancer, and costumes are welcome.

What we checked, and when
Read off the venue's own page on 2026-10-28.
The Race Roster registration page run by Rapahope prints $39.53 for the 5K and $23.44 for the fun run, which is $35 and $20 plus processing fees and taxes.
Not confirmed: A military rate. We searched and the venue publishes none. That is not the same as there being none, so it is worth asking.
Packet pickup is Wednesday November 25 from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, and race day registration closes at 7:30 AM.
The 5K is chip timed, and the fun run has no timing.
