CFA Turkey Trot

2026 CFA Turkey Trot Theme: Breathe Together: Every Step Counts. Every Breath Matters. Together we Run. The Turkey Trot has become a beloved Thanksgiving tradition in our community—a day to move, gather, and give back. This year’s theme, Trot to Give, celebrates the generosity and spirit that bring us together. When you lace up your shoes and hit the course, you’re doing more than starting your holiday with a healthy tradition—you’re making a real difference for families in North Dakota living with cystic fibrosis. Every step, every stride, every donation helps us continue our mission to provide critical support and resources. Whether you’re running, walking, cheering, or giving, we invite you to Breathe Together—and help us build a future where everyone can breathe a little easier.
