About this race
Join us for the 6th ANNUAL Timberneck Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk Fundraiser, hosted by the Fairfield Foundation.
Run or walk this scenic, flat, paved 3.1-mile loop course at Machicomoco State Park in Gloucester, Virginia. Water will be available at the start/finish line, as well as as the halfway point of the race route. Public restrooms will also be available near the race finish.
All race proceeds help fund the restoration of the Timberneck House, the c.1793 Catlett family home overlooking the York River in Machicomoco State Park. HELP US CROSS THE RESTORATION FINISH LINE! Beautiful progress has been made and we are getting close to the end of the project! The Timberneck House will soon become a place for learning, lodging, and exploring Virginia's Middle Peninsula.
