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 (3.1 miles) or 1K (.62) that is 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!
**Due to a high volume of registrants for the Turkey Trot-N-Trek, participants who register for the 5K after 11/19/25 will not be guaranteed a beanie or medal.
**1K participants will NOT receive a beanie at the Turkey Trot-N-Trek, but will receive a finisher medal.
We can't wait to see you on race day!
