Habitat for Humanity of the Lowcountry's TURKEY TROT 5K

Habitat for Humanity of the Lowcountry's TURKEY TROT 5K is held in downtown Beaufort, South Carolina, on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026, with the 5K starting at 8:00 a.m. The course starts and finishes on Bay Street. The Beaufort Turkey Trot is part of the Beaufort Triple Crown 5K series, alongside the Run Forrest Run 5K and the Swing Bridge Run 5K; runners who complete all three are eligible for special awards based on combined time. Dogs and strollers are welcome, with specific leash rules for pets, and medals and trophies go to the top finishers in the various age groups.

This flat downtown road 5K suits everyone from families with strollers to runners chasing an age-group trophy or a strong series time. It is a good first race and a natural season finale for those already competing in the Triple Crown. Four to eight weeks of consistent running with one faster session per week will prepare you well for a fast 3.1 miles on Bay Street.
