About the Gilbert Turkey Trot
The Gilbert Turkey Trot runs out of San Tan Village, an outdoor shopping center on the east side of Gilbert. The course is open to strollers, and dogs are welcome to watch from the sidelines, though they stay off the course itself. Proceeds go entirely to local nonprofits focused on children.
Packet pickup happens the evening before at the mall parking lot near Dick's Sporting Goods. Race-morning pickup is available if the night-before window does not work, though lines can run long, so arriving early helps.

The Gilbert Turkey Trot has been held every year since at least 2018. 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 Nov 12, 2026.
