Join your friends and neighbors for the 16th Annual Laurel Park Turkey Day 5k/Fun Run! This non-competitive charity event is open to everyone. Strollers and leashed dogs are welcome.

In response to Hurricane Helene, all proceeds from this year's event will be donated to MANNA FoodBank. Based in Asheville, NC, this non-profit organization is committed to serving communities across 16 counties of Western North Carolina.
