About This Race
Celebrated as one of the 20 Best Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trots in America, the CPI Security Charlotte Turkey Trot is a Charlotte Thanksgiving tradition for the past 36 years!
Join us on Thanksgiving Day morning and choose from several fun options to participate including an 8K Run, a 5K Run/Walk, a 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk, and a Tot Trot. Starting and finishing at the SouthPark Mall, the largest road race (11,000+) in North Carolina is a homecoming destination for extended families, and old classmates, and a place to meet and celebrate with neighbors. The community comes together for the official Charlotte kick-off to the holiday season!
Great value and fun for the entire family! Check out www.clttturkeytrot.com for full event details and a comprehensive FAQ section.
