Please join us as we celebrate the sixth Waynesville Sunrise Rotary Turkey Trot 5K on Thanksgiving Day, November 26th.  We cannot think of a better way to start the Thanksgiving holiday than with a run with family and friends around beautiful Lake Junaluska. As we like to say, “first the huffin’; then the stuffin’!”

RACE DAY: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26 – 9:00 AM START

Online registration will open on Wednesday, July 8 and will close on Monday, November 23 (or earlier if the event sells out).

Race Capacity

We are excited to announce the race capacity has been increased to 800 participants this year but we still expect the race to sell out well before Thanksgiving. For this reason we encourage you to register as early as possible.
