Pine Knoll Shores Turkey Trot 5K Run
Join us for the 18th annual Pine Knoll Shores Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning, November 27th. The Turkey Trot is a free run/walk event, and all are welcome. The 5K (3.1 miles) run/walk begins at 8:30 AM but participants are asked to arrive earlier to mitigate some of the traffic related to parking. The run / walk course follows the residential streets of Pine Knoll Shores and also passes through the Crystal Coast Country Club golf course. You are welcome to walk the event but baby strollers will not be permitted on the golf course. However, if you wish to walk the entire 5K with a stroller, we ask that you consider doing two loops of the dog walk course. Dogs are not allowed on the Golf Course. At the finish, water, bananas and treats will be available for participants. Online registration is available for this free event. Same day registration will also be available beginning on Wednesday November 26, from 3-4 PM at McNeill Park or at 7:30 AM at the start location but no new registrations will be taken after 8:00 AM The Turkey Trot is sponsored by the Pine Knoll Shores Parks and Recreation Committee and will occur rain or shine. All ages are welcome, and we ask that you make a donation to the Hope for the Warriors Angel Tree when you register online...and look for our volunteers who will be taking donations on site as well...Thank you.
