About the race

Ocracoke Island 5K Turkey Trot takes place in Ocracoke, NC, on Thanksgiving Day. The 11th annual in-person 5K winds through Ocracoke Village, starting near 1718 Brewery at 1129 Irvin Garrish Highway. There is also a Virtual 5K Turkey Trot.

The route showcases the island's charming village atmosphere. The event is described as a fun, relaxed race that is now timed, and all participants receive a shirt and a medal. Distances offered include the 5K in-person and virtual formats.

Proceeds benefit a fund to replace the Ocracoke School Gym Floor. The vibe is lighthearted: wobble first, gobble later. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
