CFA Turkey Trot
The CFA Turkey Trot takes place on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026, in Bismarck, North Dakota. The event raises funds to support individuals and families living with cystic fibrosis in North Dakota. The 2026 theme is Breathe Together: Every Step Counts. Every Breath Matters. Together we Run, with the broader event theme referenced as Trot to Give.
Events on the course focus on 5K distances and include several formats:
- 5K computer-timed run
- 5K computer-timed race walk
- 5K family fun walk (non-timed)
- 5K virtual race
The 10K event will not be held in 2026 due to ongoing rail bridge construction.
Packet pick-up is available at the CFA office (107 W. Main Ave, Suite 150, Bismarck), at Dick's Sporting Goods (1451 E LaSalle Dr, Bismarck) on the day before the race, and on race day at the Elks Club.
