Join the Flock for the return of the Onslow Community Outreach-Moore Buick GMC Turkey Trot 5Kish & Giblet 1-Miler! 🦃
The community has spoken, and we’re ready to ruffle some feathers with an even bigger and better event! This year, we’re spreading our wings to expand the field of runners and enhance your race-day experience with more fun, excitement, and tail-feather shaking moments.

Let's get ready to flock together for fitness, fun, and community spirit. Don’t let this opportunity fly by—register today and let’s make this Turkey Trot the best one yet!
