Turkey Trot-n-Trek

November 27, 2025 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am

Join us for a new family tradition! Before you gather to eat, gather to move with your feet! This family friendly event has something for everyone. Choose either a 5k “trot” or 1k “trek” perfect for families and little ones! This new course will be everything we love about Fayetteville: hilly, scenic, fun, and downtown!

The Spark Foundation is all about encouraging our community to get active and stay active. In keeping with our mission we have eliminated age group awards for the Turkey Trot, we want the person who motivates you to be, YOU!

We want to thank our friends at Natural State Running Club for supporting the Pay-Your-Age portion of this year’s race! We want to ensure that everyone who wants to participate has the opportunity to do so! Our Pay-Your-Age program works to alleviate some of the financial strain of race registration fees. Thank you, Natural State Running Club!

**Due to a high volume of registrants for the Turkey Trot-N-Trek, participants who register for the 5K after 11/23/25 will not be guaranteed a beanie or medal.

**1K participants will NOT receive a beanie at the Turkey Trot-N-Trek, but will recieve a finisher medal. Please be sure to register before 11/23/25 to guarantee your medal!
