Cape Fear Habitat Turkey Trot

Cape Fear Habitat Turkey Trot at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, is an annual Thanksgiving fundraiser for Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity. The event offers a 5K (timed) and a 1-mile (not timed) option, both running or walking the flat, stroller-friendly Wrightsville Beach Park Loop. The course is described as suitable for families and personal bests.

The atmosphere includes festive Turkey costumes and a separate pet costume contest, with prizes for top costumes. Proceeds support building homes in New Hanover, Pender, and Duplin Counties. For 2025, a Premier Donor Participant option is available (limited).
