Event summary

Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the 27th Annual Scheels Turkey Trot, taking place on Thursday, November 27, 2025, in the beautiful Sparks, Washoe! This exciting event features a charming 2-mile stroll around the picturesque Sparks Marina, allowing participants to soak in the stunning views and festive holiday spirit. While the traditional 10k is temporarily on hold due to road construction, the two-mile route promises a delightful experience for all ages and fitness levels. For those looking to add a bit more to their trot, feel free to take on additional laps around the Marina for up to four miles of fun!

This year, participants are encouraged to embrace the construction theme by sporting their best "construction" attire, with a special prize for the most creative outfit! As you enjoy your stroll, you'll also be giving back, as race proceeds will support Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful and Amateur Radio Emergency Services. The event kicks off at 8:30 AM from the Scheels parking lot, and we invite families to bring along jogging strollers to join in the festivities. Don’t miss out on the chance to snag our iconic Turkey Trot sweatshirts and make some holiday memories!

Organiser's Description

While Sir Stuffy totally rocks a hard hat, well leave the heavy lifting to the real pros. Our speedy 10k is on hold while Sparks Blvd gets a makeover with road construction, but dont worry, itll be back before you know it. This years Turkey Trot will keep things cozy with our classic 2-mile stroll around the Marina, perfect for soaking up the views and holiday cheer. Feeling extra peppy? Go ahead and trot that extra mile or four by taking two more laps around the Marina. And to make this year extra memorable, were bringing back our famous Turkey Trot sweatshirts!

To help show our support and excitement for the widening project, we are encouraging walkers and runners to wear something "construction" related! We can't wait to see what you all come up with and the runner or walker that has the most construction related clothing on (throughout their run or walk), gets a special prize from our special events team.

Race proceeds ($2 per runner) will go to Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful and Amateur Radio Emergency Services.
