14th Annual Old North State 5K Turkey Trot Run

The Old North State 5K Turkey Trot Run is a Thanksgiving Day event held in New London, North Carolina. This annual tradition takes place at 1520 Uwharrie Point Parkway and is organized to support local food banks. The event features a single distance for participants to complete on the morning of the holiday.

Participants can take part in the following distance:

  • 5K walk or run

The event is open to various types of participants, including runners, strollers, and those walking for charity. Registration includes a long-sleeve event T-shirt for those who sign up by the designated deadline. The race serves as a community effort to contribute to local food security, and individuals or businesses have the option to support the cause through different donation tiers. These tiers range from the Pumpkin Pie level to the Turkey and the Fixin's level, which offer different forms of recognition such as names or logos on the shirts and the race website.

The course is located within the Old North State community, providing a set route for those looking to engage in physical activity before holiday celebrations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
