10k Turkey Trek & 5k Turkey Trot - Now With HALF MARATHON DISTANCE!

Sat November 22, 2025

Arvada, CO 80007 US

Are you up for the CHALLENGE? This is not your run of the mill 'Turkey Trot.' This is the 10k Turkey TREK! Run a steady uphill climb to the summit of the course at the 3 mile mark. 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. It's windy and wild at the top and the limitless views are UNMATCHED. Run the ridge for a mile before starting the more gradual, yet still winding, descent down the east side of the mesa. Once down the hill, racers encounter a relatively flat straight-away peppered with HAY BALES for the hay bale hop challenge. 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. A fresh portion of holiday pumpkin pie awaits racers there. Once the pie is 'down the hatch', the joy of the finish line isn't far away. This is the course to BRAG about completing - with ALL of its holiday-themed challenges.

5k and 2k distances are also offered, with a small 'taste' of the full course of challenges!

New this year, the HALF TURKEY!! The HALF TURKEY visits all the challenges offered to the 10k Trek runners, and adds some mileage to get you to the 13.1 mile distance. HALF TURKEY finishers receive a MUG at the finish line to commemorate their accomplishments!
