About this race
Welcome to the Black Mountain Turkey Burner Trail Race. The most technical trail race on the ERS' Sunshine Series schedule.
Join us Saturday November 28, 2026, for the 11th Annual event and burn off all that turkey (or tofurkey) you may have consumed over the holiday.
All runners will start and finish at the Black Mountain Community Park. The Half will experience some major "hill" climbing on some very technical trails, while the 10K and 5K will feature some less technical and a little more groomed dirt trail (with some solid climbing)
Due to new park guidelines, this event is limited to 300 runners. This event will sell out early, so please sign up early!
CARPOOLING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
*This event is an ERS Championship Qualifier for all race categories
