Organiser's Description

Join us for the 5th ANNUAL Timberneck Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk Fundraiser, hosted by the Fairfield Foundation.

Run or walk this scenic, flat, paved 3.1-mile loop course at Machicomoco State Park in Gloucester, Virginia. Water will be available at the start/finish line, as well as as the halfway point of the race route. Public restrooms will also be available near the race finish.

All race proceeds help fund the restoration of the Timberneck House, the c.1793 Catlett family home overlooking the York River in Machicomoco State Park. The Timberneck House is undergoing renovation to become a place for learning, lodging, and exploring Virginia's Middle Peninsula. Help us nudge the restoration project closer to the finish line by joining us for the 2025 5K! To learn more about the project, visit https://fairfieldfoundation.org/timberneck/.
