Your Lynchburg Turkey Trot – Your Way.

We believe that traditions are important – and as we have all learned, so is the ability to adapt and evolve. We are so excited to offer both a classic Thanksgiving Day run AND continue delivering cheer, holiday family fun, and spreading community spirit right to the doorstep so you can join in the fun from anywhere!

Thank you for helping us keep the Lynchburg Turkey Trot alive – both in spirit and helping to feed families in need across our community.

Join us this Thanksgiving to celebrate all we have to be thankful for and help a neighbor in need.

Register today for the 35th Annual Lynchburg Turkey Trot, presented by Scott Insurance.

More Info

The Lynchburg Turkey Trot is more than a tradition – every registration feeds TWO families a Thanksgiving meal. HumanKind is still seeing high needs following the pandemic as families strive to get back on their feet and find stability. There is no doubt in our mind that this will be an important Thanksgiving for families in need. All proceeds from the Lynchburg Turkey Trot will provide Thanksgiving meals for local families, collect and fill the Emergency Household pantry, continue to provide resources and services to bridge the gap for families weathering this storm, and support the ongoing programs at HumanKind including maternal health, foster care, mental health, early head start, parenting support, and services for adults with developmental disabilities.
