Running of the Turkeys

Thu November 27, 2025 Greensboro, NC 27455 US Directions

5K Run/Walk (Timed) & 2 Mile Family Fun Run/Walk (Untimed)

*See the 5K course map below, as well as turn by turn directions for both the 5K timed event and the 2-mile family fun walk/run. The course is completely closed to vehicle transportation and entirely paved, making it a perfect event for all!

With safety and fun in mind for all participants we have updated our course routes. The start and finish for all events has moved into Jaycee Park! This brings all the energy of the start/finish, pooch parade, awards and engagement into ONE fun filled space! These updates will provide YOU with a better race day experience.
