ACC Turkey Trot 5K & Fun Run benefiting the David N. Levinson Memorial Scholarship Fund

ACC Turkey Trot 5K & Fun Run benefiting the David N. Levinson Memorial Scholarship Fund takes place in Spring Lake, North Carolina, on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026, with a 5K road race (3.1 miles) starting at 8:30 AM. As the name says, the event raises money for the David N. Levinson Memorial Scholarship Fund and includes a fun run alongside the timed 5K.

A charity Turkey Trot is one of the easiest ways to start racing: the distance is manageable, the mood is relaxed, and every entry supports a cause. If you want to run it well, warm up for 10 to 15 minutes, start at a controlled pace, and finish strong over the last half mile. Experienced runners can use it as a fast effort before the holiday meal, while beginners can prepare with three to four weeks of easy running two or three times a week. The fun run gives kids and walkers a way to take part too.
