About the Carson Valley Turkey Trot Fun Run
The race starts and finishes at Minden Park in the heart of downtown, winding through the surrounding neighborhood streets. The terrain is flat pavement, and the route stays close to the park, making it easy to follow. A separate kids' dash runs on the same morning, so the start area has a mix of age groups and the atmosphere reflects that.
