Time to Plan for the Davidson Turkey Trot

by | Oct 17, 2023

Bring out the family and join us at the 2023 Davidson Turkey Trot!  Start the holiday with a brisk walk/run, community fun, sharing, and Thanks-GIVING.

The annual fundraiser is a timed 5K through lovely Davidson and its beautiful greenways. The event starts early Thanksgiving morning with music, photo ops, and fun on the Village Green where families gather before the race clock begins at 8am.

Proceeds from the Davidson Turkey Trot benefit non-profits in the community and beyond. Since its inception just two years ago, over $61,000 has been distributed among:

  • Davidson Cornelius Child Development Center
  • Senior Community Connections
  • Davidson Lifeline
  • Feed NC
  • LearnWorks
  • Gift of Life International

The Davidson Turkey Trot is made possible through the generosity of our title sponsor Ingersoll Rand as well as other local businesses including Cannon School, TDS, Davidson Village Inn, Vine Society, Haerfest Coffee, Archer’s Towing, McIntosh Law, 5/3 Bank, Ladd McCall, Carrburritos, Wade and Associates, Flatiron, Mandolino’s, Homewood Suites, MainStreet Books, Haerfest Coffee, Famous Toastery and more.

Join us on Thanksgiving morning for Davidson’s newest Thanksgiving Tradition. Whether you’re a competitive runner looking to take home the “gold” or a leisurely walker looking to get outside this Thanksgiving, the Davidson Turkey Trot is sure to be a fun, family- friendly event.
