Sobre o evento

'The WT5K is a must for any trail runner. Simply put, it is the best 5K course I have run in the region. On top of that, the race organization was top notch and the post-race Union County Heritage Festival is a don't miss event. I'll be back next year for sure'. Jason Huber, WT5K Bracket Winner, 2022. 

The Wild Turkey 5K Trail Run and Walk will again offer two options this year to allow everyone to participate in the way they feel most comfortable!

On-Site Wild Turkey 5K - Come run with us again this year!! Run, jog or walk our exciting, mostly wooded 5K (3.1 mile) trail at the Union County Agriculture Center on Saturday, September 23, 2023, starting at 8:00am to support our local Carolina Waterfowl Rescue charity. Registration fees are $25 until July 31, $30 until August 31st, and then $35 until 7:45am on Race Day (online registration closes at midnight on Monday 9/18/23). Groups of 4 who register together receive a $5.00 discount each! Children aged 5 to 14 pay just $15.00! First Place finisher medals and Charlotte Running Company gift certificates will be awarded for overall Men and Women, and the top finisher guy or girl in each of the age brackets (14 and under, 15-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65+). Results will be recorded by the Race Committee, separately from the Run Anywhere event.

Run Anywhere Wild Turkey 5K - Walk, jog, run or race 3.1 miles anytime, anywhere (instead of meeting and running/walking the specified course with a group at a designated time), by yourself or with friends between 8:00am Saturday, September 23rd and 5:00pm on Sunday, September 24th! Everyone is welcome! Stay active, stay connected with others via social media, and support our Carolina Waterfowl Rescue charity through the Run Anywhere Wild Turkey 5K, a fun option for your 3rd weekend in September! Registration is $25 anytime up until midnight on Monday, September 12th. No performance prizes will be awarded for the Run Anywhere race. Groups of 4 who register together receive a $5.00 discount each! Children aged 5 to 14 pay just $15.00! There will be NO price increases closer to the event for the Run Anywhere race. If you are a brand-new runner, by all means alternate running and walking, or feel free to break the run/walk into 2 or 3 sessions, just get 3.1 miles in during the race window! Recording results is optional, but virtual runners may post their times and course on our Facebook page so we can all share in your accomplishment. You may also post on this website under the RESULTS tab.
