Before sitting down to your Thanksgiving meal bring the family, bring the kids, and bring the dog to the 11th Annual Hendersonville Turkey Trot!  The City of Hendersonville’s Wellness Committee will host its annual Turkey Trot 5k Thanksgiving morning on November 23, 2023. This year marks the Turkey Trot’s 11th Anniversary, alongside the City of Hendersonville’s 175th Anniversary. The 5k is a run/walk event open to all ages, all fitness levels, and all family members!

The entry fee is $13 which includes a long sleeve t-shirt. Registrations received by November 6th at 5pm will be guaranteed their preferred size.
