The Turkey Trot 5K has become Conway’s Thanksgiving family tradition for many in the area. Participants are asked to bring nonperishable food items to donate to Bethlehem House, CAPCA, the Faulkner County Council on Aging, the Salvation Army and the Women’s Shelter.

The race also benefits United Way of Central Arkansas funded partner programs, such as the Faulkner County Council on Aging Meals on Wheels program, the Milestones preschool program, the Faulkner County single-parent scholarship program, Bethlehem House’s transitional housing program and many more.
