Entry is $25 now and rises to $30 after Nov 13, 2026, so registering before then saves $5.
The race starts from an auditorium on Stewart Road, with sign-in inside before everyone heads out. The course offers both a shorter and a longer option, so people can choose what suits them that morning. It benefits Hands of Hope, a local organization, which gives the whole thing a purpose beyond just the run itself.

The Yuba-Sutter Turkey Trot 5k/10k Walk/Run 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.

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 42:32, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:07:54, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (167 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 5K winner ran 15:48 while the median finisher took 42:32. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
