Description

Join us for our 44th annual Turkey Trot which is the longest running women's only race in the region!

All proceeds benefit the programs of the YWCA promoting women's health and safety. In 2024, this is more important than ever. On October 14, 2024, Alyssa Lokits was killed while running on a popular trail in Nashville, Tennessee. At this year’s race we will come together as a community to dedicate our miles in her memory. We will be running to spread awareness and lift each other up. Women (and men) deserve to run without fear and at any time. Our hearts are with Alyssa Lokits' loved ones.

Trotters have the option to run or walk a USTAF-certified route through historic Bristol, Tenn. starting near the iconic Bristol sign and ending at YWCA's building. Men are welcome to run in support of this women's only race but will not be eligible for awards. There is no age restriction for race participants, and leashed pets and strollers are welcome.

Race participants will enjoy free goody bags and breakfast, and awards will be given to top finishers in each age division. Pre-registered trotters will also receive a race T-shirt and medal.

The cost is $30 through pre-registration and $35 on race day. The run/walk is managed by WeRunEvents. Registration forms may be picked up at YWCA NETN and SWVA at 106 State St., Bristol, Tenn. or found online at https://www.athlinks.com/.../ywca-womens-turkey-trot-5k.... People can register for the race the day of the event but must be registered by November 17, 2024 to be guaranteed a T-shirt and medal.
