About this event
A Thanksgiving-weekend tradition, the Historic Bethlehem Turkey Trot sends runners and walkers through Bethlehem's Historic District and the Moravian Church Settlements, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Choose the 5K run or the 1.7-mile fun walk, both starting near the 1869 Luckenbach Mill, and stick around for the crowd-favorite Pet Costume Contest. Proceeds benefit Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites, and overall male and female winners receive a Heritage Family Membership. Registration is on RunSignup; use code NOSHIRT to save $2 if you skip the race shirt. With its scenic colonial backdrop and festive touches, it is a charming, family- and dog-friendly way to celebrate the holiday weekend.
