🏃♂️ Race Overview
Unique Concept: This is not your run of the mill 'Turkey Trot.' This is the 10k Turkey TREK!
Challenge: Are you up for the challenge? Run a steady uphill climb to the summit of the course at the 3 mile mark.
Egg Nog Chug: Poised at the top of the hill is the infamous EGG NOG CHUG Challenge where racers have the option to chug 5 oz of eggnog.
Alpine Views: It's windy and wild at the top and the limitless views are UNMATCHED.
🎉 Challenges Ahead
Ridge Run: Run the ridge for a mile before starting the more gradual, yet still winding, descent down the east side of the mesa.
Flat Straight-away: Once down the hill, racers encounter a relatively flat straight-away peppered with HAY BALES for the hay bale hop challenge.
Final Challenge: Runners find the final challenge - just one kilometer from the finish: Fill Your Pie Hole Challenge.
Pumpkin Pie: A fresh portion of holiday pumpkin pie awaits racers there.
🥇 New Half Marathon Distance
More Training: We know that some of you require a bit more training before attempting the 10k loop.
Additional Options: 5k and 2k distances are also offered, with a small 'taste' of the full course of challenges!
Half Turkey: New this year, the HALF TURKEY visits all the challenges offered to the 10k Trek runners, and adds some mileage to get you to the 13.1 mile distance.
Commemorative Mug: HALF TURKEY finishers receive a MUG at the finish line to commemorate their accomplishments!
