Turkey Trot 5K Run
The Turkey Trot is a town organized, annual 5K event held at Apex Community Park. The listing notes the 28th edition on November 21, 2026 and identifies the course as Course #19413. The course travels through the park and around a scenic lake.
Registration is limited to the first 600 individuals; the race has filled approximately one month prior to the event in recent years. Participants choose between Recreational and Competitive entry types. Recreational entrants do not receive a timing chip, are not officially timed or recorded, and are not eligible for awards; they may keep their own time if they wish. Both entry types receive a race t-shirt.
Competition is organized by age divisions from 12 and under through 70 and up. Fees are listed as Competitive $30, Recreational $25, Youth Competitive (12 and under) $15, and Youth Recreational (12 and under) $12. Awards are given to the top overall male and female and to the top three males and females in each age division for Competitive entrants only.
