Hampstead Kiwanis Park Turkey Trot

Based at Hampstead Kiwanis Park, Hampstead, NC, the Hampstead Kiwanis Park Turkey Trot offers 8K (timed), 2-Mile (timed) and a Kids Sprint (untimed). The course starts in the park, includes pavement and neighborhoods along Harbour Village Marina and the Intracoastal Waterway, then returns to the park. The Kids Sprint is a lap inside the park.

The event is stroller- and wheelchair-friendly, though dogs are not permitted. Awards include top-three in each age category for the 8K and 2-Mile, plus finisher medals for Kids Sprint; shirts for early registrants. Proceeds support Hampstead Kiwanis Park, an 82-acre community space developed with local partners and volunteers; a family-friendly event with participation from Marines and running groups.
