About the Annual San Bernardino Turkey Trot

The course runs through the Cal State San Bernardino campus, looping around the grounds for the longer distances and offering a shorter kids' route as well. It is mostly flat college campus terrain, shaded in spots, with the kind of wide paths you find on a university that was built with foot traffic in mind.

Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at a local running store on Kendall Drive. Race morning pickup is also available at the venue, but the organizers flag that traffic gets heavy, so arriving early is worth planning around. There is a finish-line festival with a costume contest, music, and food.

Finish-Time Stats

Common Questions About the Annual San Bernardino Turkey Trot

Will I finish last at the Annual San Bernardino Turkey Trot?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 42:05, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:17:22, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Annual San Bernardino Turkey Trot a good first 5K?

A field of 608 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Annual San Bernardino Turkey Trot?

The 5K winner ran 16:05 while the median finisher took 42:05. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
