For many active Americans around the country, a “turkey trot” can be a Thanksgiving tradition. If you’re someone who likes to “earn” your Thanksgiving feast, the High Country Turkey Trot, which offers a 5K race (chip-timed) or Fun Run/Walk (untimed) to choose from.
The High Country Turkey Trot, the largest 5K to take place in the High Country, is happening on November 24th, Thanksgiving morning, at 9am at Clawson-Burnley Park (Boone Greenway Trail.) This is a fun way for the entire family—adults, teens and kids, to get some fresh air and exercise before the big chow down.
In addition to feeling good about doing something healthy, the High Country Turkey Trot will make you feel good about helping people in need. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the race/walk goes toward food and funds for neighbors in need, specifically to the Hospitality House of Boone.
Located on Brooke Hollow Road, the Hospitality House is a nonprofit crisis intervention agency that provides food, shelter and supportive services to individuals and families living in crisis. poverty and homelessness. The Hospitality House also operates the Bread of Life Community Kitchen, the only community kitchen in the High Country, which serves three meals a day, seven days a week, all year long to the those in the community who are hungry.
