Turkey Trot

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. (Depending on the completion of the trail... will we be able to run it this year?! Wait and see...) 

The first 250 participants to register are guaranteed one of our famous race shirts, max 2 per flock. Participants have said that they do this event solely for this shirt. The shirt is a black long-sleeved moisture-wicking shirt with our Turkey Trot race logo on the front and our local sponsors on the back.

Cape Carteret Trail
A portion of the proceeds from this event benefits the completion of The Cape Carteret Trail, a 3.1-mile loop asphalt that will welcome walkers, runners, and cyclists of all skill levels and abilities. The goal is to link area neighborhoods, businesses, schools, public services, recreation, and nature areas. The trail project will include exercise areas, gardens, nature trails, wooded areas, and numerous memorial benches. 

Any donations made through this RunSignUp.com page will go directly to the Cape Carteret Trail.
