Youth Fun Run

"Kids will have the opportunity to utilize their strength and agility skills as they climb, jump, crawl, balance, and run through our 1 mile obstacle course. Limited to ages 12 & Under. The course will take place on the track behind the YMCA. The Kids’ Fun Run begins at 8:30. Parents are welcome to join! Bring on the little Turkeys."

Phantom Runner

This “Do It Yourself” event will allow participants to run or walk at any time and any location that is convenient and safe for you and your families. Run a local 5K or 10K route (like the Turkey Trot courses), around the block, on trails,12.5 laps around the track, or even run on a treadmill. You don't even have to live in North Carolina - so please invite friends and family in other states or countries to join the fun.
