About this race
We Run Rain or Shine!
Join us for the 12 th Annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot 5k & Gobble Wobble Kids Mile benefitting the United Way of Central Arkansas.
The tradition continues in Conway on Thanksgiving morning, and we are back at UCA's Estes Stadium For 2026. We are starting on the UCA campus in front of Estes Football Stadium just off Bruce Street. You will take a stroll through Arkansas' most beautiful campus and over to the Stone Dam Creek Paved, Multi-Use Trail that leads through a beautiful wooded preserve, across the Dave Ward Drive pedestrian bridge, to the water station turnaround, and back.
Strollers permitted. No bikes. No pets.
