 Louisville Turkey Trot
Thursday, November 27 | 9 a.m. | Old Town Louisville
Get ready to lace up your sneakers and join us for a festive Thanksgiving morning! This community tradition supports Community Food Share’s mission to provide families, children, and older adults with fresh, nutritious food. Every dollar you raise or donate gets stretched. $1 turns into $6 worth of groceries!
Bring your family, neighbors, and friends for 3.1 miles of fun! Whether you trot, stroll, or walk, after the race you’ll find music, coffee, hot cocoa, craft beer for 21+ at the finish and a festive gathering in downtown Louisville. The City is proud to be a sponsor of Turkey Trot this year.
