About the Historic Bethlehem Turkey Trot 5K & Fun Walk
The course runs through Bethlehem's Historic District and into the Moravian Church Settlements, a designated World Heritage Site. It is hilly enough to feel like a real effort, with old streetscapes and historic buildings around you the whole way. Dogs on leash and strollers are welcome in the fun walk, and the pet costume contest draws its own crowd.
Water is available mid-course at the Luckenbach Mill, which also serves as a first aid point. Parking information is handled through the city's parking authority site. Holiday costume prizes go to the most spirited individual and group, so people do show up dressed for it.
