Asheville Turkey Trot
The Asheville Turkey Trot is a popular annual running event held in Asheville, North Carolina, featuring two main races: the traditional Downtown Asheville Turkey Trot 5K and the South Asheville Turkey Trot 5K in Biltmore Park Town Square. The Downtown race starts at the YMCA on Woodfin Street, winding through the historic Montford neighborhood and finishing at Pack Square Park. It is USATF-certified and welcomes strollers but no pets due to course congestion.
The South Asheville Turkey Trot offers a chip-timed 5K with a festive atmosphere, including a "Best Dressed Turkey" costume contest and finisher medals. Both events support local charities and provide race shirts for early registrants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
