Bac Turkey TROT 5K - Beebe

Bac Turkey TROT 5K - Beebe takes place in Beebe, Arkansas, on November 21, 2026. The event lists a single race, Turkey Trot 2026, run over 5K (3.1 miles) with an 8:00 AM start. It falls the Saturday before Thanksgiving, which puts it squarely in the turkey trot tradition of short, early, community-minded races that welcome walkers and runners side by side.

Because the distance is short and turkey trots tend to attract mixed fields, you can approach it in whichever way suits your season. If you simply want to finish, a few weeks of easy runs in the 20-to-30-minute range is enough preparation. If you are after a personal best, use the weeks beforehand for one interval session per week at goal pace, keep your other runs relaxed, and ease off in the final three days. Turn up early to warm up properly for an 8:00 AM gun, hold back a little through the first mile, and push the final kilometer.
