The Turkey Trot 5K is organized by the Saline County Striders Run/Walk Club and runs through downtown Benton, offering a festive way to begin Thanksgiving weekend. Runners start at Market & Sevier, with packet pickup at First United Methodist Church (200 N. Market St.). The course is flat and road-based, suited for all levels from competitive runners to families and walkers. A portion of the proceeds supports historical preservation efforts, including restoring the 1891 Old River Bridge and enhancing regional park access. Participants receive a finisher medal, and those who register early (by November 9) get a special T-shirt; top 3 in male/female categories also earn medals.
