Event History
The Wiregrass Wobble Turkey Trot started with the leadership of three local organizations collaborating with the idea of a family event to benefit local charities in the New Tampa and Wesley Chapel areas. The Rotary Club of New Tampa, the New Tampa YMCA, and FITniche began work on the event late 2012. Thanksgiving morning (November 28th) 2013 over 1,400 participants ran in the inaugural 5k and 1-mile fun run events and raised over $20,000.
The positive feedback from the event was overwhelming. The same team built upon the initial success and Thanksgiving morning 2014 over 1,650 participants ran in the 5k and 1-mile fun run. The event raised over $25,000.
The third annual event in 2015 had 2,000 participants and raised $30,000 for charity in total.
For 2016, we added AdventHealth Wesley Chapel Foundation as an organizing partner. The fourth annual event in 2016 had 2,200 participants and raised $35,000 for charity in total. In 2017, we had 2,212 joining us in the rain for some sloppy fun and we raised over $32,000. In 2018 and 2019, over 2,200 runners, walkers and wonderful sponsors each year helped us raise over $104,500 for the community bringing our seven-year total to over $246,500.
All proceeds from the Wiregrass Wobble Turkey Trot events go to local charities.
