Join us for the 12th Annual 5K Turkey Trot! This is still a fun, relaxed race, but will now be timed! All participants will receive a shirt and a medal! The race starts at 8:00am on Thanksgiving Day at 1718 Brewery. Start your morning off by taking a run, walk or stroll through Ocracoke Village, celebrate your finish with friends and then head off to enjoy your Thanksgiving feasts. Wobble first, gobble later! Fun for all!
**If you cannot join us in person but still want to join in on the fun, you can sign up for the Virtual 5K. We will mail you your shirt and medal!
