Who doesn’t want to burn some calories in support of building homes before eating your Turkey dinner?!
Join the festivities this Thanksgiving at the Wrightsville Beach Turkey Trot. Come dressed in your finest Turkey costume and support a great cause while enjoying a 5K or 1 Mile around a beautiful beach town.

This is not only a great family Turkey Trot, but also a great race if you are vacationing in the Wilmington area and down to Fort Fisher. The race is flat and fast, the scenery is of the old homes in the area. There is cheering all along the route. The families that participated had matching shirts. The swag is a shirt, but great color and design. I will run it again when I am in the area.
