Turkey Trot for the Trail

Thanksgiving Day ” Run For Relief “

Join us in giving a little to those who lost much. Let us run, give thanks, and make a difference together!

Get your costumes ready and get your flock together to enjoy a beautiful Thanksgiving morning together. Walk, run, or strut 3.5 miles 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, a 3.5-mile loop course or a 1-mile out-and-back through Star Hill.

The first 200 registered participants will receive our famous race shirts, a maximum of two per flock.
