    DIY 5K

    In addition to the on-site 5K, Cherokee Choices is offering a "DIY" option for the 2024 Cherokee 5K Turkey Strut.

    This “Do It Yourself” or Virtual Event will allow participants to run or walk at any time and any location that is convenient for you and your families. Run around the block, on trails, 12.5 laps around a track, or even run on a treadmill. You don't even have to live in Western NC - so please invite friends and family in other states or countries to join the fun.

    While not required – you can submit your time for inclusion in the online “just for fun” results. We will collect times from November 16th until the 24th. Check out the "DIY 5K INFO" tab for additional details.

    NOTE: Participants who register for the On-Site 5K are welcome to switch to the DIY 5K at any time. Please Contact the Race for details.

     

For the love of all that is good and moisture wicking...

Though we try to be accurate and on top of things... Race details can change when we aren't lookin. And once in a while we simply make a mistake.
