Ken Freeman Huff, Puff, then Stuff 5K
Earn that Thanksgiving Day stuffing by bringing the whole family and all your friends out to participate in the Thanksgiving morning turkey trot 5K in scenic and historic Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. The race takes place on the Hot Springs Greenway, starting and ending at the Transportation Depot. Participants will receive a finisher’s medal to commemorate the day! This year our swag will be long sleeved t-shirts for youth participants and windbreakers for adult participants. The inventory is limited though, so be sure to register early! In the effort to get everyone off to their respective holiday plans, we will not have an awards ceremony, but you will still see winning categories on RunSignUp.
Overall Male and Female will walk away with sumpthin pumpkin! Pumpkin Pie? Pumpkin Roll? Gotta be there to find out!
Proceeds benefit Hot Springs Friends of the Parks specifically for expanding the multi-use trail system in Hot Springs.
