About the Madera College Turkey Trot
The race starts and finishes on the college campus, put on by the women's soccer program there. The shorter kids' distance and the longer run share the same start area, so families tend to stay together through the morning. Proceeds go directly to the student-athletes, which gives the event a purpose beyond the finish line.
Packet pickup is on campus, in one of the campus buildings. Walk-in registration is also available at packet pickup once online registration closes, so late deciders can still get in, though rates go up at that point.
