About the College of the Canyons 18th Annual Turkey Trot
The course starts at a community college campus and winds through the grounds and trails above the Santa Clarita Valley before dropping into a fast downhill stretch that feeds onto a stadium track for the finish. The views from the trails are the highlight, and the track finish gives it a bit of a different feel than a typical road race.
Parking on campus is free. The finish line puts you on a track with live results posted nearby, so you can check your time before heading out for the holiday.
