Join us for the 18th Annual Wagner's Turkey Trot! When : Saturday November 21, 2026, 8am start Where : Wagner’s Team, 406 Bridge Ave in Northport Race Distance : 2 miles Kick off Thanksgiving week with family and friends by joining one of Tuscaloosa's favorite races of the year! This is more than just a race though. It's a fun, family-friendly community event that welcomes participants of all ages and experience levels. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or joining your very first race, you and your family are invited to be part of this Tuscaloosa tradition! This year, race proceeds will benefit two organizations near and dear to our hearts - Magic Moments and Tuscaloosa Angels . Magic Moments is Alabama’s only wish granting organization for children with chronic life-threatening medical conditions. Tuscaloosa Angels is a nonprofit organization transforming the foster care experience across West Alabama. Their mission is to walk alongside children, youth, and families in the local foster care community by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship. Last year we were able to donate over $10,000 to charity through this race and our hope is to increase that amount this year! Early Bird discounted pricing is available through 9/14: Individual Registrant - $20 Family of 2 - $30 Family of 3 - $35 Family of 4 - $40 Family of 5 - $45 Family of 6 - $50 Prices will increase on 9/15. *Please note t-shirts are not be included in the cost of registration. They will be available to purchase for $9 each as you go through the steps to register. By keeping shirts optional, we’re able to maximize the proceeds donated to charities, ensuring more support goes directly to this incredible child wish-granting charity.
