Boar's Head Turkey Trot 5K

The 44th Annual Boar's Head Turkey Trot 5K is a Thanksgiving Day tradition held in Charlottesville, Virginia, benefiting UVA Health Children's. The race starts and finishes at the Boar's Head Resort, featuring a challenging, hilly 5K course through nearby neighborhoods. In addition to the main 5K run/walk, there is a free Tiny Turkeys 1/4 Mile Dash for children eight and under.

All 5K participants receive a long-sleeve unisex t-shirt. The event encourages families to get active before the holiday feast and includes an awards ceremony recognizing top finishers by age group. Parking is limited, and carpooling is recommended. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
