2025 BLACK MOUNTAIN TURKEY TROT 5k
GET READY FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE THANKSGIVING MORNING
Thursday, November 27th, 2025
Get ready for an unforgettable Thanksgiving morning at Black Mountain’s inaugural Turkey Trot! Choose your challenge: a chip-timed 5K weaving through charming mountain streets or a breezy 1-mile Wishbone Fun Run perfect for families.
Keep in mind that this is not your average Asheville Turkey Trot as there will be fewer runners, less cars, more breathing room, and more love. This Turkey Trot is only 20 minutes from Downtown Asheville, located in the the beautiful town of Black Mountain, North Carolina, a small, artistic town in Buncombe County known for its scenic mountain setting, creative energy, and historic downtown – also named one of “America’s Prettiest Small Towns” by TripAdvisor!
Kick off your holiday on the right foot while collecting some awesome swag:
Premium long-sleeve tech shirt to rock your winter runs
Exclusive finisher medal to show off at dinner
Custom race bib to commemorate your achievement
Post-race festivities with music, photo ops, and seasonal treats
Special prizes for best turkey costumes and fastest runners.
Start a fun new tradition before the big feast!
Early bird registration available now. Gobble up those spots before they’re gone!
Join fellow runners and walkers of all ages as we give thanks for this beautiful mountain community. A portion of proceeds supports Bounty & Soul an organization doing great things right here in Black Mountain and Swannanoa.
