New Turkey Trot website is in the works!
Due to the uncertainty of hosting events this fall because of COVID-19, the 2020 Turkey Trot is tentatively set for Thursday, November 26th. Once we know if the race will occur, we will put up information on our new webpage.
With a record-breaking 2500 participants, Turkey Trot 2019 was a huge success! See photos from the morning on our Facebook page (taken by Rachel Veale and Paul King) and on the Citizen Times website.
With 18 consecutive Turkey Trot’s under their watch, it would be an understatement to say that Jus’ Running knows what they are doing when it comes to putting together a successful race. Starting in downtown Asheville, the rolling 5k course takes participants through the historic neighborhood roads of North Asheville before heading back to the Finish in the center of downtown. This race provides an opportunity for Asheville residents and their families to start Thanksgiving Day off in a healthy, environmentally-friendly, fun, and safe manner. In addition, this race of over 2,200 participants allows us the means to raise funds for MANNA FoodBank. Last year alone we donated over 18,400 meals to MANNA FoodBank!
