About the TURKEY TREK (13.1, 10k, 5k & 2k)
The course at Long Lake Ranch Regional Park is anything but flat. It climbs steadily to the top of a mesa, where runners can attempt an eggnog chug before running the exposed, windy ridge. The descent down the east side is gradual but winding, and the route back through the park throws in a hay bale hop and a pumpkin pie stop near the finish.
Packet pickup happens the evening before at Road Runner Sports in Westminster, with walk-up registration welcome at that time. On race morning, the expo opens early with late packet pickup available. Parking is described as ample in the park lots, with the expo and course access at the south end of the parking area.

Going by the 2025 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The TURKEY TREK (13.1, 10k, 5k & 2k) has been held every year since at least 2012. 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 25, 2026.
