25th Annual Scheels Turkey Trot

Before you settle in for a day of Thanksgiving feasting and football, head to the Scheels Turkey Trot for a large serving of healthy family fun. Scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. at Scheels this annual running and walking event is a great way to burn calories and give back to the community. Participants can choose to do either the timed 10K run or the two-mile untimed walk or run around the Sparks Marina, the 10K, which equates to a little more than six miles, uses city streets, as well as the local bike path. Both the 10K and the two-mile events will start and finish in the parking lot of Scheels. Every runner and walker will receive a commemorative long-sleeve souvenir shirt and refreshments. There will be age group awards for the 10k event. 10k Age Brackets: 12-14,15-17,18-29, 30-39,40-49, 50-64, 65 We encourage the use of jogging strollers along the route of this family-friendly event.
