Description
Join us -- rain or shine -- on Thanksgiving Day for the Bishop Ranch Turkey Trot! We will gather at Bishop Ranch City Center in San Ramon for a run around the lakes and gardens. These are chip-timed races on a flat course that has both pavement and packed dirt. Come and run or cheer. Or both!
Costumes are welcome, so break out your turkey suit, and let's go! Here are the ways to take part:
- The Turkey Trot is a 5k race that you can run, jog, or walk. Whether you're a steely competitor or just looking to walk with your family, this is for you. Finish with a smile on your face! This starts at 8:30am.
- The TINY Turkey starts at 9:30 am and is a short run around City Center for children under 5. This is a 50-yard dash that's very fun. Get your camera/cell phone ready!
Bishop Ranch Turkey Trot is a Learning is Open event. Learning is Open is a 501c3 non-profit. Proceeds support the Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano.
Medals, Shirts, and Awards
All Finishers receive the special Bishop Ranch Turkey Trot wood-cut medal. Made from recycled wood, these are one-of-a-kind. Also each runner receives a custom, perfectly cozy Bishop Ranch Turkey Trot long-sleeve shirt as part of registration. Shirts are not included for athletes under 5 but can be purchased separately during registration. These are cotton-feel shirts perfect for running or going to the market. Sizes run from small to XXXL and are in male and female cuts. Youth sizes are available. Got enough race shirts? No problem. We allow you to donate $5 to charity instead.
All athletes receive a custom Bishop Ranch Turkey Trot bib for the race and to put on your refrigerator once the race is done.
Podium awards are given to the top 3 adult finishers, by gender, and also to youth runners 12 and under, by gender in the Fast Turkey only. The Festive 5k is a non-competitive event.
