Event overview
The CFA Turkey Trot is scheduled for Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2025, in Bismarck, North Dakota. The event is a fundraiser that supports individuals and families living with cystic fibrosis in North Dakota.
The event program includes 5K computer-timed run, 5K computer-timed race walk, 5K family fun walk (non-timed) and a 5K virtual race. The 10K event will not be held this year due to rail bridge construction. Costumes are encouraged and prizes will be awarded for best-dressed and most spirited participants.
