DAV Turkey Trot 5K

On Thursday, November 26, 2026, the Arkansas State University campus will come alive with the energy of runners participating in the DAV Turkey Trot 5K. The race starts at 7:00 a.m., following registration which begins at 6:00 a.m. near the Lieutenant Colonel Frederick C. Turner Jr. Military Science Building.
The event is organized by Disabled American Veterans Chapter 26, who work tirelessly to support local veterans in Northeast Arkansas. Proceeds from this race will help fund their transportation program, aiming to replace two essential vans that provide no-cost rides for veterans traveling between VA medical appointments and facilities in Memphis and Little Rock.
Join the community on Thanksgiving morning as they gather to celebrate health and wellness through a 5K run or walk before indulging in holiday feasts. This event not only offers an opportunity to stay active but also supports those who have dedicated their lives to serving our country.
