Blacksburg Turkey Trot
The Blacksburg Turkey Trot is a community event held on Thanksgiving morning in Blacksburg, Virginia. The event offers options for participants of various ages and abilities, taking place on the streets of the town. The main course is designed to accommodate both walkers and runners.
The event features two distinct distances:
- 5k
- Gobble Gobble Kids Dash
The 5k race is a professionally timed event. Each participant receives a race bib and a chip timing device during the packet pickup process. Although the race is timed, participants are encouraged to wear Thanksgiving-themed clothing and running gear during the activity.
The Gobble Gobble Kids Dash is a specific event for children. It takes place on the local streets, allowing younger runners to participate before the start of the longer race. The kids' dash is scheduled to conclude before the 5k event begins, allowing families to attend or participate in both segments of the morning program. This event is held annually on the holiday and focuses on a mix of fitness and a festive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
