About the Adventist Health Sonora Turkey Trot
The longer route winds through downtown Sonora, past the high school, and into a residential neighborhood before picking up the Creekside Trail of Dragoon Gulch back toward the start. That trail section makes for a fast finish. The shorter route stays mostly flat and paved, following Forest Road to a trail and back. Dogs on leashes and strollers are welcome on both.
The race starts and ends at a church on Forest Road that also serves as the packet pickup and same-day registration site. A group warm-up with fitness instructors runs shortly before the start. Parking is spread across several nearby lots, including Woods Creek Rotary Park and the LivingWell Fitness Center.
