Onslow Community Outreach-Moore Buick GMC Turkey Trot 2026

The Onslow Community Outreach-Moore Buick GMC Turkey Trot takes place on Thanksgiving morning at Jacksonville Commons, with the start and finish near 100 Recreation Lane in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Participants can select the 5Kish race, the shorter Giblet 1-Miler, or a virtual 5K. The event is designed for families and regular runners alike. The 1-miler begins first, followed by Ainsley’s Angels and then the 5K. Walkers, strollers, and pets are asked to begin from the rear of the 5K corral. The race benefits Onslow Christmas Cheer, providing the holiday run with a local charity mission. The Extra Servings Challenge allows participants to run both the 1-miler and the 5Kish race, earning an additional challenge medal alongside their two race medals. All 5K and 1-mile finishers receive a medal, with distinct designs for each distance. Awards are presented to the top overall male and female finishers, as well as the first-place winners in each 5K age group from youth categories up to 70 and over. Fleet Feet gift certificates will be awarded to the fastest runners.
