Now in its 26th year, this Thanksgiving Day tradition is a family feel-good, do-good time. Over 4,250 participants run/walk the 10K, 5K, or Kids' Turkey Chase through the heart of Cool Springs. Many of their friends and family stand on the sidelines to cheer them on. Each Trotter crosses the finish line knowing that local Neighbors in need now have more food, shelter, and support services because they ran for GraceWorks.
Distance | Price |
---|---|
10K | $50 |
5K | $45 |
Kids Turkey Chase | $15 |
*Register a team of 4 or more adults, and you'll receive a $5 discount on each registration fee.*
Please note: Tennessee law now requires that online prices be displayed up-front, including any taxes or third-party processing fees. Since this platform (Race Roster) has a processing fee, the price on the registration form will show the sum of the processing fee and the race fee as one total. Race Fees for the 2025 Franklin Turkey Trot benefiting GraceWorks have not changed. The Race Fees are the same as last year.
Peer-to-Peer Fundraising
Trotters have the option to help GraceWorks raise additional funds by inviting family, friends, and co-workers to donate in support of their run/walk. Simply agree to fundraise when you register, and you are set to have the opportunity to win fabulous prizes! The more you raise, the more prizes you win!
Be on the lookout for an email with more details about the fabulous prizes you can win!

What is the distance for the Kids Turkey Chase Race?
The distance for the kid's race is a bit under 1k, around .62 miles. You will be able to see your child the entire time while they are chasing the Turkey! You are more than welcome to run beside your child.
Will there be corrals set up to enable faster runners/walkers to start toward the front of the pack?
In response to requests from our extra speedy runners, we will be adding race corrals this year. This will also help our trotters who have little ones in strollers and those who prefer a slower pace. Please see the times below and select the corral that most closely matches your pace.
