Turtle Racing
Details
Rev up your engines for the slowest thrill ride in South Austin! Turtle Racing at Little Woodrow's Southpark Meadows returns for Season 4, kicking off March 5, 2026. This hilarious tradition hits the outdoor patio on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Thursday of every month, turning Thursday nights into a riot of cheers, cold beers, and epic turtle showdowns.
Picture this: a buzzing crowd packed around a tiny track, placing friendly bets on shelled speedsters like Turtle Swift, Shellvester Stallone, Slow Rogan, and TORTilla.

Races start around 7 or 8 PM, delivering non-stop laughs as the competitors take their sweet, glorious time to cross the finish line.
