2024 Turkey Strut 5K
It’s the 17th year of the Turkey Strut 5K! You don’t have to sit around the house all day waiting for the turkey to finish baking. Place that turkey in the oven and come join the fun at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds! Bring your family and out-of-town guests for a great start to the Thanksgiving morning. Strollers and dogs are welcome to join the fun!
Parking for the event is available at the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum/Winston-Salem Fairgrounds, located at 2825 University Pkwy, Winston Salem, NC 27105.
The race will begin at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds off Deacon Blvd just across the street from BB&T Field/Stadium. With the incredible year to year growth of this event we have designed this course to accommodate the participants and families. The course runs near BB&T Field/Stadium, Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, and the Deacon Baseball field stadium. The course is a USATF Certified 5K course and a 1 mile fun run/walk. Given that the course is USATF Certified, final run times will go toward state and national records.
