Description:

THE FUN DOESN’T END ON THANKSGIVING DAY! JOIN US ON SATURDAY FOR A HALF MARATHON/10K/5K AND THE LITTLE TURKEYS RACE! The rarely seen Quarry Turkey will make his appearance two days after the big feast, fueled-up and ready to take on all the little turkeys! Come start a new Thanksgiving weekend tradition with a fast, mostly-flat half marathon, 10K or 5K! Little Turkeys Race (about 100 yards or so) is free to all children brought with race participants. Once again, we are also holding a food drive benefitting Alameda County Food Bank and are encouraging all participants (including little turkeys) to bring at least one canned good on race morning. All races begin and end at Quarry Lakes Recreational Area, with the 10K and half marathon races going out along the Alameda Creek Trail. Trails are primarily fire trail with short paved sections. Walkers/hikers and runners of all levels are welcome! All finishers will receive custom finisher medals and custom shirts (cotton and tech shirts available). More info on shirts/awards page. All races will be professionally timed with electronic chip timing.
