33rd Annual Crisis Services of North Alabama Turkey Trot 5K

RUN · WALK · STROLL · TROT

33 years. Thousands of families. One Thanksgiving morning tradition that keeps growing.

Join Crisis Services of North Alabama on November 26 for the 33rd Annual Turkey Trot 5K. Run, walk, stroll, or trot a USA Track and Field certified course with your people before the pie. It's the same route used for the Huntsville Track Club's Twilight Run.

Turkey Trot is fun, festive, and family-friendly. Every registration helps Crisis Services of North Alabama support survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence with forensic exams, crisis counseling, and help navigating what comes next. Emergency shelter at HOPE Place is available for those fleeing domestic violence. All services are free and reached through HELPline (256-716-1000), any hour of any day.

Tiny Tot Turkey Trot

Kids ages 5 and under can join the Tiny Tot Turkey Trot, a 100-yard dash at 9:00 a.m. with Tina Turkey, our hilariously huge turkey mascot.

No advance registration needed. No cost to participate. Just show up and have fun!

About Race T-Shirts

Race t-shirts are first come, first served. We hand them out during bib pickup while supplies last.

When you pick a shirt size during registration, that helps us estimate how many to order. It does not reserve a shirt or a specific size for you.

Turkey Trot is a fundraiser, so we order carefully to put as much as possible toward our mission. That means we can't guarantee a shirt for every registrant, even if you sign up early.

Get your bib early for a chance to get a tee.
