Asheville Turkey Trot
The Asheville Turkey Trot is a popular annual running event held in Asheville, North Carolina, with two main versions: the Downtown Asheville Turkey Trot and the South Asheville Turkey Trot. The Downtown event features a USATF-certified 5K course starting at the YMCA on Woodfin Street, winding through the historic Montford neighborhood, and finishing at Pack Square Park. It includes a 5K race and a 1-mile fun run, with awards for various age groups and costume contests.
The South Asheville Turkey Trot, held at Biltmore Park Town Square, offers a professionally chip-timed, USATF-certified 5K with festive finisher medals and free shirts for early registrants. Both events foster a festive, family-friendly atmosphere and support local charities like MANNA FoodBank. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
