Toss Your Turkey 5K

A Thanksgiving Day charity 5K in Charlottesville that gives residents an active, feel-good way to start the holiday. The festive, family-friendly run/walk supports a local charitable cause and draws a big, spirited holiday crowd of runners, walkers, families, and visitors home for the holiday. The relaxed 5K format welcomes all fitness levels, and many participants come in costume or with family teams. It's a classic community 'turkey trot'-style tradition. This is a public, community-open event; confirm the exact start time, venue/start line, beneficiary, and registration fee on the current race listing before Thanksgiving.
