This Thanksgiving, join us at the NEW location for the 13th Annual Gobbler Turkey Trot, hosted by Rock City Running at the MARKET PLACE SHOPPING CENTER, 11121 N. Rodney Parham Rd., Suite 37B, Little Rock, AR 72212. While we’ve moved from Hillcrest and The Heights, you’ll still have three or four course options to enjoy, all for a great cause – benefiting the Arkansas Foodbank. This year’s event will stick to road courses, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable run or walk for everyone!
Bring the little ones (ages 0-8) to join in the fun with Tom’s Tiny Trot! This short race around the parking lot is perfect for young runners and walkers and will take place before the main Turkey Trot, ensuring lots of cheers and excitement from the crowd. Kids must be accompanied to the start by a parent or guardian, but you don’t have to run with them on this spectator-friendly course. Just get them to the start and cheer them across the finish line!
Santa will be at the event to collect your donations and spread holiday cheer. Don’t miss the chance to get a photo with him and let him know how good you’ve been this year!
Yes, we love our furry running companions! However, even well-behaved dogs on leashes can sometimes pose a trip hazard for other participants. To keep everyone safe, please keep your dog on a short leash, especially around large crowds and the busy starting area. We can’t wait to see you and your four-legged friends there!
This year, strollers are welcome on all the courses, making it a great event for families with young children!
Choose from three fun routes that will take you through scenic areas, all on the road for a smooth and stroller-friendly experience. Please note that there will be very limited traffic control on these courses, and runners are responsible for their own safety when crossing roads. Remember – this is NOT A RACE, so feel free to take your time, enjoy the morning, and focus on fun, fellowship, and giving back to the community.
Water will be available on the courses after the run to help you rehydrate.
