About the Claremont Turkey Trot
The course starts and finishes at Memorial Park and winds through the tree-lined streets around the Claremont Colleges and the historic neighborhoods nearby. It is mostly a street run with a gentle downhill stretch near the end that carries you into the finish area. Dogs on leashes are welcome, and strollers are fine out on course.
Packet pickup happens before race morning, with online registration available through the event itself if you need it last minute. The start area is at Memorial Park, so parking and logistics center around there. The kids' fun run goes off first, leaving a gap before the main race begins, which gives parents time to sort out who is running when.
