A playful, sunlight-activated medal brings extra cheer to this year’s Thanksgiving tradition
BARTLESVILLE, OK — The 2025 Bartlesville Turkey Trot is adding a burst of color — and personality — to its Thanksgiving celebration with a brand-new color-changing finisher medal designed and produced by X T-shirt.
This year’s medal features a cheerful turkey whose tail feathers transform from light cream to bright yellows and oranges when exposed to sunlight, creating a warm, festive gradient reminiscent of fall colors and Thanksgiving spirit.
And there’s another playful surprise built in:
The turkey’s legs are movable — swinging back and forth as if it’s running right along with them.
This interactive detail adds a fun, memorable twist that’s perfect for families, kids, and anyone who enjoys holiday-themed races.
“We wanted a medal that captured the playful energy of the Turkey Trot,” said Ryan Zhu, founder of X T-shirt. “The color-changing feathers and moving legs bring the turkey to life — it’s a simple way to make every runner smile the moment they cross the finish line.”
The Bartlesville Turkey Trot continues to be a beloved community tradition hosted by the Richard Kane YMCA, bringing families together to kick off Thanksgiving morning with fitness and fun.
