2025 Duck Turkey Trot 5K

The Race…

The Duck Turkey Trot 5K is an annual charitable run/walk to be held on Thursday November 27, 2025.  This event is 
produced by the First Flight Track Club, a local 501 C-3 nonprofit which helps youth runners in Dare County.   

The race is open to runners and walkers of all abilities and continues the tradition established by the Advice 5K Turkey Trot. Many vacationers and locals remember this race fondly before its retirement in 2021. The Duck community is very excited about the rumors of the return of the race, and local businesses are excited for the reboot.

This event is for vacationers, homeowners, and locals to celebrate the Thanksgiving Day holiday together. Event reception and after event celebration will be held at TREE HOUSE CAFE and COFFEE Scarborough Faire Shopping Village. 

This race is not chip timed. Top finishers will be posted, but all times will not be posted.  There will be a race clock with the time displayed.  No Pets Please.

Included with each registration:  Tee Shirt, Swag bag, Hot Drink Ticket (Coffee/Hot Chocolate), SWELLS'A Beer Ticket for over 21, post race carbs, Great Course with aid stations, Great Party @ Tree House Cafe and Coffee, Charity Auction and Raffles.
