Turkey Trails - Fayetteville

Turkey Trails - Fayetteville takes place in Fayetteville on November 15, 2026. Everything goes off at 8:00 a.m.: the Turkey Trails Half Marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K, a 5K, a one-mile run and an untimed Kid's Dash for children 10 and under. This is a family-oriented Thanksgiving event, and registration comes with a custom bib, a designed shirt and a personalized medal. The timed races are chip-timed with live results and awards, free photos are included, and there are snacks and activities at the finish. Youth entry rates are available, and a virtual option lets you take part from anywhere.

Deciding what to enter is mostly a question of what your current week looks like. If you are running a few easy miles at a time, the 5K is the honest choice; the 10K suits a runner with a steady base; the half marathon calls for roughly three months of consistent weeks and a long run built up to about 11 miles. Taking the shorter distance alongside family members is also a fair use of the morning, since the timed events all start together.
