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!
