About the Wise County Turkey Trot
The Wise County Turkey Trot runs on Thanksgiving morning through downtown Decatur, starting on Main Street. The course offers a shorter option and a longer run, both rooted in the heart of the square. It is a fundraiser for local charities, and runners are encouraged to bring canned goods, which go to a local food bank.
Packet pickup happens in the days before the race at a boutique on the square in Decatur. The start is right there on Main Street, so the square itself is your staging area on race morning.

The Wise County Turkey Trot has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
