Charlotte Turkey Trot

The CPI Security Charlotte Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving tradition held at SouthPark Mall in Charlotte, NC. The event offers four options: the CPI Security 8K, the CPI Security 5K, the Harris Teeter 1-Mile, and the Harris Teeter Tot Trot. It is billed as one of the top Thanksgiving Turkey Trots and the largest NC road race, with 11,000+ participants.

The course starts and finishes at SouthPark Mall, and a finish festival features a live national anthem, a deejayed pre-race, fire trucks, and post-race refreshments. Perks include finisher medals for all races, soft cotton tri-blend long-sleeve T-shirts, pre-event packet pickup, and a CMPD toy drive.
