The Genesis House Turkey Trot and Youth Mile has been a Thanksgiving Day tradition since 1988. Our 2098 race saw over 1,000 participants cross the finish line, helping raise funds that directly benefit our Genesis House Emergency Shelter. Genesis House opened in 1990 and provides short term emergency shelter for children 2 -17. It is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Join us next Thanksgiving morning for the biggest Thanksgiving party in Lynchburg. The race starts and ends on the campus of Timberlake Christian School located at 202 Horizon Drive in Forest. Same day registration begins at 7:30 a.m. The 5K race begins at 9:00 a.m. and the Youth Mile begins at approximately 10:00 a.m. Trophies are awarded to the Overall Male and Female 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and 1st Masters’ place. All Youth Mile runners, 12 and under, receive a medal at the finish line. Great door prizes and fun for the entire family.
