Turkey Trot-n-Trek

About this event

Thursday, November 26 | The Upper Ramble, Downtown Fayetteville

Before you gather to eat, gather to move with your feet! This family-friendly event has something for everyone. Choose a 5K (3.1 miles) or a 1K (0.62 miles), both perfect for families and little ones. This course is everything we love about Fayetteville: hilly, scenic, fun, and downtown! Every dollar raised supports Fayetteville schools and programs that help kids build healthy habits, through the Spark Foundation's outreach programming and grants.
