South Asheville Turkey Trot 5K
The South Asheville Turkey Trot presented by Hunter Subaru is a 5K event held on November 26, 2026 in Biltmore Park Town Square, One Town Square Boulevard, Asheville, North Carolina. The course is chip timed, fully marked, and USATF Certified. All in-person participants receive a commemorative finisher medal; this year’s medal features a spinning turkey. A complimentary Run Grateful shirt is included for registrations completed by November 1, after which shirts may be available for purchase in limited sizes.
The event offers in-person and virtual participation. Virtual entrants can run on their own course, submit results online, and receive race swag by mail. A pre-event packet shipping option is available through November 1 for participants who prefer to have shirts and bibs mailed before the race.
Packet pickup takes place at The Trot Shop at Hilton Asheville Biltmore Park on the day before the event and on race day at the same location. The race includes a Best Dressed Turkey contest with awards for Best Dressed Turkey Overall (top three) and Best Dressed Turkey Group.
The event partners with local sponsors including Hunter Subaru and Biltmore Farms, and supports charity partners Least of These Asheville and iDream Athletes Foundation. Least of These Asheville accepts monetary donations and donations of snacks and hygiene items at packet pickup and on race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
