About the Downey Dance Team Turkey Trot 5K & Group Relay
This is a fundraiser for the Downey Dance Team, and the format is the main thing to understand before you show up. You run a looped course, completing several laps to make up the full distance, either solo or as part of a relay team. There are two competitive categories, one for faster runners and one for those newer to racing, with team prizes awarded across both.
Teams are made up of multiple runners, each handling a portion of the laps. A solo option exists if you prefer to run the whole thing yourself. The co-ed team categories have specific gender composition rules, so it is worth reading those before you register your group. Children under a certain age must be accompanied by an adult on the course.
