What: Start your Thanksgiving morning with a fun-filled dash through downtown Hendersonville at the City’s 12th Annual Turkey Trot 5K! Whether you're a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or just in it for the costumes, this all-ages event is open to everyone. When: The race kicks off at 8:30 a.m. on November 28, 2024. Runners and walkers should plan to be off the course by 10:30 a.m. Where: The course starts and ends at City Hall at Fifth Avenue East and King Street. Register for the Turkey Trot Sign up to volunteer at the Turkey Trot Registration Info: Registration is just $15 and includes a long-sleeved t-shirt. If you register by November 6th at 5 p.m., you’re guaranteed your preferred shirt size. We also need volunteers to put on a great event; volunteers can register online and get a free t-shirt for helping out. Unregistered community members are still invited to come out and do the race for fun. Packet Pickup: Race packets can be picked up on November 25th and 26th from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. on the first floor of City Hall (160 Sixth Avenue East). Unclaimed packets will be redistributed by 9 a.m. on race day. Other Event Details: This isn’t your typical race – it’s all about fun! Costumes are encouraged, so break out your best turkey, pilgrim, or pumpkin getup. The race goes on rain, shine, or snow. While it’s a non-sanctioned event, we’ll still hand out four fun prizes: farthest traveled, first male, first female, and a mystery time prize. Well-behaved pets (and well-behaved owners who clean up after them) are welcome at the race.
