Hendersonville's 14th Annual Turkey Trot 5k

Join us for the 14th Annual Turkey Trot 5K!

Kick off your Thanksgiving with a fun-filled dash through Hendersonville at the 14th annual Turkey Trot to benefit Hope Coalition! Whether you are a seasoned runner, casual stroller, or just in it for the costumes, this event is open to all-ages!

The unsanctioned race kicks off at 8:30 a.m. in front of City Hall. This brand new route will start on 6th avenue in front of City Hall continuing down Main Street to the Ecusta Trail. The Ecusta Trail route will loop back onto 5th avenue to complete the race at City Hall. Runners and walkers should plan to be off the course by 10:30am, leaving plenty of time to feast! The race will go on rain, shine, or snow, so dress for the weather and make it memorable!
