However, it will save everyone time if they sign up prior to coming to packet pickup.

Please try to pick up your bibs on Wednesday if you can because race mornings are always hectic and it will help us start on time on Thursday.

🎉 A Community Tradition

Founded in 1989, the Virginia Run Turkey Trot welcomes participants into the holiday season by promoting a spirit of community. This year, we invite runners and families back to this beloved tradition, where we will gather for a special day of turkey hats, dogs with feathered coats, and the excitement of the race.

But make no mistake: We intend to combine our fun with addressing the needs of less fortunate families near and far. The Trot has raised roughly 1 million dollars for charity since its inception. Held on Thanksgiving, it is not just a race, but a reminder of what really matters. We hope you can join us.
