Leesville Community Turkey Trot
The Leesville Community Turkey Trot is an annual community 5K that raises funds for the Murphy Scholarship, Leesville Road High School's first endowed scholarship. The scholarship was established in 2011 to honor the school's first principal and recognizes outstanding graduating seniors.
The event features a USATF certified 5K course run on local neighborhood roads. The course is wheelchair, dog and stroller friendly. Course monitors and a police presence will be on site, but the roads are not closed; participants are expected to yield to motorized and nonmotorized vehicles. A course map is available.
Pre-registration is required by 11/24 for participants who want an official timed result. Race day registration may be available if the race is not sold out, but same day registrants will not receive an official time. Race registration opens 10/20/2026 and closes 11/6/2026; the listed registration fee is $20.00. Participants must wear their race number pinned on the front midsection for official timing; wearing a number as directed implies consent for official results to be posted publicly.
The event also serves as a volunteer opportunity and a community gathering for alumni and families. Volunteer roles mentioned include pie bakers, course monitors and inflating event decorations. Sponsorship opportunities are available through the event's corporate sponsorship process. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
