A Great Run for a Great Cause
Join Us in Building the Next Generation
Each Thanksgiving morning, the Bulverde Turkey Trot brings together families, friends, businesses, and community leaders for one of the most anticipated traditions in the Texas Hill Country. What began as a local race has grown into a community celebration that welcomed more than 1,278 participants in 2025 and continues to grow each year.
The 2026 event marks our 6th Annual Bulverde Turkey Trot and coincides with America's 250th Anniversary, making this year's race an especially meaningful celebration of community, opportunity, and the future we are building together.
While participants gather for a morning of fun, fitness, and fellowship, the impact extends far beyond race day.
Proceeds from the Bulverde Turkey Trot support The Centre's mission of developing the next generation of healthcare and science professionals through hands-on learning experiences, internships, mentorship opportunities, workforce development initiatives, and career exploration programs. These experiences provide students and young adults with real-world exposure that helps prepare them for future success while strengthening the workforce needs of our region.
Your participation, sponsorship, or donation helps create opportunities that inspire students, develop future leaders, and invest directly in the future of our community.
