CFA Turkey Trot
CFA Turkey Trot Race Description
2025 CFA Turkey Trot
Theme: Trot to Give: Run with Heart. Give with Purpose.
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 Trot to Give—and help us build a future where everyone can breathe a little easier.

The Turkey Trot is an amazing event that helps CF patients get through the tough times. The event brings together thousands of people all helping an amazing organization. As a mother of a child with CF, I didn't know how much I would depend on the CFA to help our family. With recent drug changes and hospitalizations I now know the full meaning about helping CF patients and their families "Breathe Easier"!
