10k Turkey Trek & 5k Turkey Trot

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

This is not your run of the mill 'Turkey Trot.' This is the 10k Turkey TREK! Are you up for the challenge?

• Course 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.
• Prize Opportunity: Those who 'chug' are entered to win a new pair of shoes!
• Scenic Views: It’s windy and wild at the top and the limitless views are UNMATCHED.

🏞️ Course Details

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: Continuing the clockwise loop back into the park, runners find the final challenge - just one kilometer from the finish: Fill Your Pie Hole Challenge.
• Delicious Reward: A fresh portion of holiday pumpkin pie awaits racers there.
• Bragging Rights: Is this a course on which to set a personal record? Hah! This is the course to BRAG about completing - with ALL of its holiday-themed challenges.

🏅 5k and 2k Options

We know that some of you require a bit more training before attempting the 10k loop. 5k and 2k distances are also offered, with a small 'taste' of the full course of challenges!
