About the Coalinga Turkey Trot
The course runs through a sports complex on the east side of town, with a shorter walk option alongside the main run. It is Thanksgiving morning, so expect cool air and a crowd that skews toward families, strollers included. Pets are not allowed on the course.
Packet pickup is the evening before at a pizza place and a sports bar on Coalinga Plaza, both in town. Race morning, late pickup opens at the complex before the start. Age group awards follow shortly after finishers come in.

The Coalinga Turkey Trot has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 18, 2026.
