Cape Carteret Turkey Trot

Experience the festive spirit at the Cape Carteret Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning, November 27, 2025, in the scenic Cape Carteret, North Carolina! This inclusive event welcomes participants of all ages to walk, run, or strut along a picturesque 5K route or a shorter 1-mile loop through the Star Hill area and Cape Carteret Trail. Celebrate health, happiness, and holiday cheer with family and friends in a non-timed event focused on fun rather than competition, catering to both seasoned runners and casual walkers. Dress to impress for a chance to win prizes like pumpkin pies for the fastest finishers and best-dressed participants. The first 200 registered entrants will receive exclusive Turkey Trot shirts, and all participants will earn a medal. Convenient parking options and support for a local charity make the Cape Carteret Turkey Trot the perfect way to kick off your Thanksgiving celebrations!
