Kick off Thanksgiving morning with one of Charleston’s favorite traditions, the Turkey Day Run and Gobble Wobble 5K. This annual race through historic downtown Charleston brings together locals and visitors for a fun and festive start to the holiday.
Participants can enjoy scenic Lowcountry views along the certified course before celebrating at the post-race party in Marion Square with live music, food, and drinks. Whether you are visiting family in Charleston or staying in a Kiawah Island or Johns Island vacation rental, this event is the perfect way to experience the city’s holiday spirit.
The Turkey Day Run begins and ends in Marion Square in downtown Charleston and takes place each year on Thanksgiving morning.
