Description

Get your costumes ready and get your flock together to enjoy a beautiful Thanksgiving morning together. Walk, run, or strut 5k or 1 mile on a course through the beautiful Star Hill area. This is NOT a timed event. It is just plain fun, family, and community. Flock Registration is a good way to get the whole family active on Thanksgiving morning and burn calories for the rest of the day! Register as a flock, and your flock will be entered to win the best-dressed flock at the race! 

The course is flat and fast 5k or a 1 mile out-and-back through Star Hill. 

The first 200 registered participants are guaranteed one of our famous race shirts, with a maximum of two shirts per flock. The shirt is a black short-sleeved cotton tee-shirt with our Turkey Trot race logo on the front and our local sponsors on the back.

This year's shirt has a special design that signifies how Eastern NC is reaching out to our Western NC Communities in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
