We are back on the Boone Greenway Trail for the 14th Annual High Country Turkey Trot!

NEW For 2024, we're offering three race options! Choose from a 5k or 10k timed trail race or an untimed 5k Fun Run/Walk. The 5k and 10k trail races will take you on a scenic trip through the woods via The Greenway and Kennedy Trails. The Fun Run/Walk 5k will utilize all paved trails throughout the park. 

The High Country Turkey Trot incorporates a Costume Contest, Prizes for Top 3 Men's & Women's Racers, Finisher Medals, and custom High Country Turkey Trot T-Shirts. We’ll also have a live DJ on site!
