27th Annual Scheels Turkey Trot

While Sir Stuffy totally rocks a hard hat, we’ll leave the heavy lifting to the real pros.  Our speedy 10k is on hold while Sparks Blvd gets a makeover with road construction, but don’t worry, it’ll be back before you know it. This year’s 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, we’re 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.
