New Hope Turkey Trot

Get ready for a heart-pumping adventure with Smithville's inaugural Turkey Trail Trot 5K on November 27, 2025! Hosted by New Hope Christian School, not only are you in for an exhilarating race through stunning trails but you'll also be supporting a noble cause. This self-timed event breathes life into the local community by contributing all proceeds to the New Hope Scholarship Fund, aiding families in need of financial support for Christian education.

Whether you're a seasoned runner seeking a challenge or a family looking to bond over a fun run, our unique course offers both – starting on the scenic vistas of the Julia Bargman Memorial Cross Country course and escalating to Lake Remote's wild, untamed beauty. And there's more than just the race; knowledge stations, breathtaking wildlife, and a community spirit that’s second to none. Don't forget – sign up by November 21, 2025, to snag that event t-shirt, with options for the whole family including children under 5 participating for free. Join us to help make this event a cherished Northland tradition!
