The Turkey Trot features a 5K cross country course that winds through the picturesque hills and trails of Santa Clarita Central Park, offering stunning views of the Santa Clarita Valley. For our younger participants, we've added a special 1K run for children aged 10 and under, which takes place around fields 9 and 10. The 1K run starts promptly at 8:15 AM, followed by the 5K event at 8:45 AM. This setup ensures a fun and safe environment for runners of all ages and skill levels to enjoy the race and the fresh morning air.

Signing up for the Turkey Trot is easy and convenient. You can register online ahead of time or on the day of the race at the starting line. The entry fee is $35 per runner, which helps support the Santa Clarita Track Club's Cross Country and Track & Field programs. By participating, you're not only getting a great workout but also contributing to the development of young athletes in our community. Don't miss out on this chance to be part of a meaningful and fun Thanksgiving tradition.

The Turkey Trot is more than just a race; it's a community celebration that brings people together to promote health, fitness, and camaraderie. It's a wonderful way to connect with neighbors, make new friends, and enjoy the spirit of Thanksgiving in an active and positive way. Plus, all proceeds go directly to supporting the club's youth programs, helping to nurture the next generation of runners and athletes.
