The Second Year of the Great Turkey Trot 5k 2026

The Great Turkey Trot 5K, a 9:00 AM trail run/walk at Allison Creek Park in York, South Carolina, encourages Thanksgiving costumes. Hosted by Greater Things, this is the second year for the event. The setup is straightforward: a 5K on park trails, a $20 entry fee, a race shirt for registered participants, and age-group competition for runners from 16 and under to 50 and above. The day is designed for families and 5K runners alike. Top male and female finishers in each age group receive medals. Children can participate in a fun run and scavenger hunt. Adults and children are also invited to enter a Thanksgiving-themed costume contest, with prizes for the top three finishers. Local businesses and organizations will host tables offering treats and giveaways. Water and snacks will be available, and proceeds from the event will benefit underprivileged children and Veterans in York County.
