The City of Hendersonville’s Wellness Committee will host their annual Turkey Trot 5k Thanksgiving morning on November 25, 2021. The Trot is a run/walk event open to all ages, all fitness levels, and all family members!

The 5k 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 entry fee is $13 which includes a long sleeve t-shirt. This is a non-sanctioned event – we’re here for fun and exercise. The event will take place rain or shine, sleet, or snow!

Registrations received by November 8 will be guaranteed their preferred t-shirt size. Volunteers are needed and will receive a free t-shirt. Race packets may be picked up on November 23rd and 24th from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. in the City Hall lobby located at 160 Sixth Avenue East.

Three prizes will be given prior to the start of the 5k for those pre-registered: oldest participant, farthest traveled, and the family with the most participants.

Attendees are encouraged to follow CDC recommendations in place at the time of the event.

So, bring the family, bring the kids, bring the dog. Be part of this fun event before sitting down to your Thanksgiving meal.
