Get ready to lace up your running shoes and don your festive costumes for the 8th Annual Living Well Fitness Turkey Trot on Thursday, November 27, 2025, in the charming neighborhood of Walton, Boone! This exhilarating Thanksgiving Day event invites participants of all ages to walk, run, or strut their way through a scenic 5K course, making it the perfect opportunity to enjoy a fun-filled day with friends and family.

Not only will you have a blast, but you'll also be supporting a great cause—proceeds benefit the local Go Pantry. Plus, all participants who register before November 18, 2025, will receive a commemorative t-shirt, while kids 12 and under can join the fun for free with a paid adult (though they won’t receive a shirt). After crossing the finish line, enjoy delicious post-run snacks and drinks. Don’t miss your chance to win a pumpkin pie for being the first male or female to finish, or for the best-dressed participant! Make sure to arrive early for packet pickup starting at 7 AM, and remember to park at the First Church parking lot. Join us for this memorable community celebration and create lasting holiday memories!
