Join the flock, shake your tailfeathers, and help us celebrate! Participate in-person on Thanksgiving Day or continue with a TWIST on tradition from anywhere you choose!

Your Lynchburg Turkey Trot – Your Way. We believe that traditions are important – and as we have all learned, so is the ability to adapt and evolve. We are so excited to offer both a classic Thanksgiving Day run AND continue delivering cheer, holiday family fun, and spreading community spirit right to the doorstep so you can join in the fun from anywhere! Thank you for helping us keep the Lynchburg Turkey Trot growing – both in spirit and helping to feed families in need across our community. Let’s make history together this year and break records to help EVEN more people in our community!

Together we will share our LOVE for Lynchburg – our neighbors, our families, and our community as a whole. Join us this Thanksgiving to celebrate all we have to be thankful for and help a neighbor in need.

The Lynchburg Turkey Trot is more than a tradition – every registration feeds TWO families a Thanksgiving meal. HumanKind is still seeing high needs as families are striving to get back on their feet. There is no doubt in our mind that this Thanksgiving is an important time to help families in need. 

Here’s how it works...Register and choose to be in-person or virtual, get your gear mailed to you or at the drive-thru packet pick up, join us on Thanksgiving morning or select a day of your choice to run or walk on a course of your choosing or treadmill, use our race app to keep track, submit your results to be added to the virtual leaderboard, and don’t forget to wear your turkey swag!
