🦃 Race Overview
This is not your run of the mill 'Turkey Trot.' This is the 10k Turkey TREK! Are you up for the challenge?
- Terrain: Run a steady uphill climb to the summit of the course at the 3 mile mark.
- Challenge: Poised at the top of the hill is the infamous EGG NOG CHUG Challenge where racers have the option to chug 5 oz of eggnog.
- Views: It’s windy and wild at the top and the limitless views are UNMATCHED.
- Descent: Run the ridge for a mile before starting the more gradual, yet still winding, descent down the east side of the mesa.
🥧 Course Challenges
Once down the hill, racers encounter a relatively flat straight-away peppered with HAY BALES for the hay bale hop challenge.
- Loop: Continuing the clock-wise loop back into the park, runners find the final challenge - just one kilometer from the finish: Fill Your Pie Hole Challenge.
- Delight: A fresh portion of holiday pumpkin pie awaits racers there.
- Finish Line: Once the pie is 'down the hatch', the joy of the finish line isn’t far away.
- Bragging Rights: This is the course to BRAG about completing - with ALL of its holiday-themed challenges.
🏃 Alternative Distances
We know that some of you require a bit more training before attempting the 10k loop. 5k and 2k distances are also offered, with a small 'taste' of the full course of challenges!
