🦃 Turkey Trek Overview

This is not your run of the mill 'Turkey Trot.' This is the Turkey TREK! Are you up for the challenge? Run a steady uphill climb to the summit of the course at the 3 mile mark.

• Location: Ralston Creek Trail @ Long Lake Ranch Park, Arvada, CO

• Challenges: Includes the infamous EGG NOG CHUG Challenge where racers can chug 5 oz of eggnog.
• Prizes: Those who chug are entered to win a new pair of shoes!

🏔️ Course Highlights

It's windy and wild at the top and the limitless views are UNMATCHED. Run the ridge for a mile before starting the more gradual, yet still winding, descent down the east side of the mesa.

• Descent: A gradual descent awaits after reaching the summit.
• Challenges: Racers will encounter a flat straight-away peppered with HAY BALES for the hay bale hop challenge.

• Finish Line: A fresh portion of holiday pumpkin pie awaits racers there.
