n alone. Most participants will tell you that this is the most beautiful Half Marathon course they have run, as challenging to boot. If you're a fan of golf, just the word "Pinehurst" will be enough to evoke memories of Phil Mickelson's narrow, one-shot loss to Payne Stewart here at the 1999 United States Open golf championship, which was played on the legendary Pinehurst No. 2 course. Open in 2005, when New Zealand's Michael Campbell walked away with the trophy, and hosts the Open for a third time in 2014. The race -- which is hosted by First Health of the Carolinas hospitals -- will follow an out-and-back course that starts and finishes in Cannon Park, which lies just to the north of the famed golf course where the Open is played. From there, the course winds through mostly residential neighborhood streets of the village of Pinehurst and the Pinehurst Resort. In the stretches around the middle miles of the race, golf fans will find the street names quite familiar, as they run along Burning Tree Road, Diamondhead Drive and St. Runners can expect much of the course to offer ample shade, as the route will make its way largely through residential areas as well as around stretches of Pinehurst Lake, and past several fairways within the neighborhoods that make up the golf resort. The course is certified by USATF-RRTC (USA Track and Field, Road Running Technical Council).

🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️ Running for a Cause: Join Us in Giving Back! 🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️

We’re excited to announce that this year, our Turkey Trot is not only about pushing physical limits but also about making a positive impact in our community! Every participant will now be "Running for a Cause," and we couldn’t be more thrilled.

For each race entry, we’ll be donating $1 to Women of the Pines, a fantastic local organization that supports the sick, hungry, homeless, and abused. They also provide scholarships to students at Sandhills Community College who need financial assistance. You can learn more about their work here: https://womenofthepines.org

In addition, we’re encouraging everyone to bring non-perishable food items to the race to support the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. These donations will go directly to families in need in Lee, Moore, Richmond, and Scotland counties, helping those facing food insecurity, especially during the holidays. Whether it’s canned goods, pasta, or cereal—every bit helps!

Let’s come together to race toward a healthier and more compassionate community. Thank you for your support! 💙

As many of you know, this year at a number of our NCTS races, we gave away high quality custom printed knit socks as the awards. The people who received these socks raved about them.

So we have decided to conduct a Cyber Monday special revolving around these socks.

Anyone who registers for one of the following NCTS events will receive a pair of socks of their choice at packet pick-up (10 different to choose from).

The rules are simple:

* Registrations must be on Monday (11/27)
* Registrations must be for one of the following 10 events

Azalea
Pinehurst International
Pinehurst Sprint
Lake Norman
White Lake Spring International
White Lake Spring Sprint
White Lake Fall International
White Lake Double Sprint
Sandling Beach International

If you’re planning to race next year, Monday might be an opportune time to register.

From a race registration fee standpoint, people registering from Feb. 6th to Feb. 11th will pay the same registration fee as people who registered before Feb. 5th - they just won't get the race shirt as part of the registration fee.

People registering on race day will pay a $10 higher registration fee plus they will have to purchase a shirt ($10) after the race (whiles supplies last).

Pinehurst Turkey Trot - Race Shirts

I want to clear up some confusion that I created (my apologies).

First - everyone who registers to race on Saturday (11/20) will receive a race shirt at NO ADDITIONAL COST - as long as supplies last.

All participants who registered before 11/14 will receive their race shirts at packet pick-up.

Anyone registered (or will register) after 11/13 will be able to pick up a race shirt after the race (while supplies last).

We will have a table set up near the finish line where volunteers will be handing out shirts after the race.
Volunteers will collect race bibs in exchange for shirts - so this has to be done after the race.

We expect to have enough shirts for everyone.

11/09/2021

The race shirt deadline is approaching for the Pinehurst Turkey Trot on Saturday, November 20th.

The chance to sign up and be guaranteed a race shirt is Saturday (11/13) at 11:59pm.

Anyone registering after this coming Saturday will have an opportunity to purchase a shirt after the race (while inventory lasts).
