The City of Hendersonville’s Wellness Committee will host its annual Turkey Trot 5k Thanksgiving morning on November 24, 2022. This year marks the Turkey Trot’s 10th Anniversary, alongside the City of Hendersonville’s 175th Anniversary. The 5k is a run/walk event open to all ages, all fitness levels, and all family members!
The Hendersonville Turkey Trot starts at 8:30 a.m. at City Hall at Fifth Avenue East and King Street. The course travels through downtown and ends back at City Hall. Walkers and runners should plan to be off the course by 10:30 a.m. The event will take place rain or shine, sleet, or snow! The entry fee is $13 which includes a short sleeve t-shirt. Event organizers have highlighted a different Hendersonville building with each year’s t-shirt design, increasing the number of turkeys each Thanksgiving. The 10th Anniversary shirt will be a throwback to the inaugural year.
The Turkey Trot is a non-sanctioned event – we’re here for fun and exercise and costumes are encouraged. Four prizes will be awarded for those pre-registered: farthest traveled, first male, first female, and a mystery time prize.
Before sitting down to your Thanksgiving meal bring the family, bring the kids, and bring the dog to the 10th Annual Hendersonville Turkey Trot!
