This Thanksgiving, thousands of Texans will lace up their sneakers to run a few miles in turkey trots across the state. But in the small South Texas town of Cuero, ninety miles southeast of San Antonio, devoted revelers converge a month earlier for a literal turkey trot. Most of the events at Turkeyfest
are typical small-town Texas festival fare: a parade
But the main attraction is the Great Gobbler Gallop
a live turkey race that celebrates more than a century of Cuero’s rich turkey history.
Turkeyfest is the latest iteration of a long line of turkey-related festivities in Cuero
The tradition dates back to the late 1800s
when local farmers would drive turkeys on foot across the countryside to sell at the market every autumn
The birds were presented to visiting buyers
and shipped to arrive in northeastern cities in time for Thanksgiving—likely explaining why the festival has long been held in October
The sight of thousands of turkeys parading down Main Street attracted crowds
and legend has it that one of the big-city turkey buyers admired the scene and made a remark along the lines of “You should do something with this,” planting the seed that an annual turkey drive could be a stand-alone attraction for the town
the Great Gobbler Gallop has played up a lighthearted rivalry between Cuero and Worthington
Both towns call themselves the Turkey Capital of the World; to settle the debate over who truly deserves the title and award bragging rights for the year to come
Worthington ships one of its turkeys to race a Cuero bird at Turkeyfest each year
I attended the fifty-second annual Turkeyfest
and spirits were high on the morning of October 12
Cuero’s Ruby Begonia and Worthington’s Paycheck (so named “because nothing goes faster than your paycheck”) lined up on the intersection of Esplanade and Main
waiting for the signal to start as hundreds of onlookers clogged the sidewalks
Many of those in attendance wore Cuero Gobblers football jerseys and pins reading “Ruby Begonia for President.” The towns’ racing teams—volunteers who run behind the birds to keep them moving in the right direction—braced themselves
Paycheck trotted straight into the sidelines
racking up a number of penalties in the process
and Ruby Begonia sprinted full steam ahead
with Ruby speeding down the finish line in less than 43 seconds and the crowd erupting into applause
Ruby had won the comically large Traveling Turkey Trophy of Tumultuous Triumph
while the loser took home the comparatively puny Circulating Consolation Cup of Consummate Commiseration.
Half of each bird’s score had already been recorded a month earlier at the King Turkey Day in Worthington in September
Ruby Begonia emerged the victor of that race
too—officially with a thirty-second lead
with some Cuero citizens in attendance speculating that it was more like two minutes
“The embellishment of a win in Texas is okay,” argued 2012 Turkey Trot Sultan Yekrut Joe Adams
all parties agreed that Ruby was the undisputed winner
I hope he doesn’t make it home,” said Lonny Johnson
“That was the city’s centennial,” recalled Kahlich
who had the opportunity to fly in the blimp that year
“The local tire company sold Goodyear tires and had enough pull to get them to the ’72 celebration.” But a decline in the regional turkey farming industry
combined with a shift in turkey breeding to favor larger “broad-breasted,” i.e.
breeds caused Cuero to cease the turkey trot that same year
which has its own history of turkey farming and parading
Members of both communities agreed to the idea of a turkey race
and the Great Gobbler Gallop has been hosted annually ever since (except in 2020)
2012 marked the hundredth anniversary of the first turkey trot
and organizers paid homage to the original format by fusing elements of Turkeyfest and the turkey trot
and the Turkish ball came back in full swing
“My wife and my sister made my costume,” says Adams
“I wear a black cowboy hat all the time
and they said I had to wear a king’s hat
so they designed the turban around my cowboy hat.” Ruby Begonia made Cuero proud and swept the Great Gobbler Gallop that year
“Paycheck fell to pieces and Ruby was doing him pretty bad,” says Adams
“So I picked that turkey up and ran him across the finish line
But I made damn sure Ruby still won.”
Cuero takes the process of selecting Ruby Begonia seriously
The racing turkey is chosen in June or July; because sprightly Rio Grande turkeys are difficult to come by
farmers look to heritage breeders or even capture wild turkeys to compete
“I don’t know how many years ago it was
I came across a turkey nest of eight or ten eggs down by the railroad track,” said Adams
“We got a Ruby out of that batch.” Over the years
the selection process has become a party unto itself
with Cuero shutting down Main to race five or six birds in a test run
Though Ruby might be the same bird for a few years in a row
each is ultimately retired after a few Turkeyfests
“They get too used to people and don’t run away anymore,” says longtime Turkeyfest board member and turkey breeder Cory Thamm
Transporting Ruby Begonia from Cuero to Minnesota every year is just as complex
The racing bird undergoes a full checkup to ensure that he or she is healthy and won’t bring any fowl-borne diseases to Worthington
“We call the office of agriculture in Minneapolis
which is used to dealing with large numbers of livestock,” says Thamm
“Then we have to explain why we’re only bringing one or two turkeys.” There’s also the mental tax the trip puts on the turkeys
The Cuero racing team sometimes takes a cue from horse transporters
bringing along another turkey as a travel buddy to keep Ruby more relaxed.
the relationship between Cuero and Worthington has become much more than just poultry-based
and generations of friendships have been forged
I went up to Worthington to race four years in a row,” reminisces Kahlich. “It’s a rivalry for sure
but it’s more of a renewal of comradeship,” Adams says
In 2017 after Hurricane Harvey brought devastating floods to Cuero
Worthington supported its sister city by sending a cargo trailer full of food and supplies
“They really stepped up to bat,” says Turkeyfest president Trent Kainer
“We have a deep connection.” In 2023 the Cuero faction chartered a bus of fifty people to travel to Worthington for the King Turkey Day heat
“Some of our best friends are sixteen-hundred miles away
but it’s like you see them every day,” muses Thamm
“It’s crazy to think that it’s all because of a turkey race.”

“We’ve had our feathers handed to us plenty of times,” Adams says
