Turkey Trot/ carrera "Turkey Trot"
Explanation:
If I'm not mistaken, the Turkey Trot originated in the early 1900s and was danced to ratime music, but currently it is held as a race at Thanksgiving time in many locations throughout the U.S. (usually to raise money for special organizations, charities, school functions, etc.)

Maybe just leave it in English or place in parenthesis that it is a sporting event/race
