Calabash Turkey Trot

The Calabash Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving morning race series in Calabash, offering a 10K, a 5K, and a one-mile Mashed Potato Miler. The morning begins with the 10K at 7:00, followed by the 5K at 8:30 and the mile at 9:15, allowing runners to select a single distance or complete multiple events. The Ultimate Thanksgiving Challenge allows dedicated runners to compete in all three races before the 9:30 awards ceremony. This is the event's 12th year, and it provides large finisher medals. Pumpkin pie and coffee are served at the finish, with Golden Turkey Trophies awarded to overall, masters, and five-year age-group winners, along with a Best Costume prize.
