Johnson City Turkey Trot 5K
About this race
8:30 am. Up & At ‘Em, Inc. presents the 21st annual Johnson City Turkey Trot. Over the years this race has become an iconic event of the area coined as “The Place To Be Thanksgiving Day.” Although this 5k race is the largest in the Tri-Cities area, it has become more than just a race to all as it is also seen as a homecoming or family tradition to do every year with over 5,000 of our closest friends and family.
