The Top O' Hill Terrace in Arlington, perched along the historic Bankhead Highway, is steeped in a captivating history that encapsulates the essence of Texas. In the 1920s, Beulah Adams Marshall, an enterprising individual, transformed the Tarrant County hilltop into a charming tea room and restaurant, drawing in travelers on the Bankhead Highway and locals from the bustling cities of Dallas and Fort Worth. The property's narrative took an unexpected turn during Prohibition when new owners, Fred and Mary Browning, ingeniously expanded it to include a casino, horse barn, and even a clandestine escape tunnel amidst legal restrictions. Today, under the ownership of Arlington Baptist College, the Top O' Hill Terrace stands as a custodian of its storied past, with meticulously preserved historic edifices and grounds showcasing an eclectic mix of sandstone blocks and intricate wrought iron work, offering captivating tours.

The Turkey Trot has been a part of the American Thanksgiving Day tradition, so why not start Thanksgiving Day with a fun race before the parades, kick-off, and feasting commence? You can run, jog, walk, stroll, roll, or even crawl through the event. You may even burn off a few calories. The net proceeds from the 11th Annual Arlington Turkey Trot will support the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Tarrant County. The club's mission is simple: "To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens."
