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 benefiting Alameda County Food Bank and are encouraging all participants (including little turkeys) to bring at least one canned good on race morning.

COURSE MARKING
All participants can receive a copy of their appropriate course map on race day.
Each course will be marked with ribbons, flour and signs to help keep runners on the correct course. Volunteers will also be on the course at key locations to help direct runners.
AID STATIONS
As with all of our races, aid stations will be fully stocked with water, sports drink, gels, pretzels, candy, etc.
Aid stations will be approximately 2-3 miles apart.
Runners who may need more water, should carry their own water bottle or hydration pack.
BATHROOMS
Bathrooms will be available at the race start/finish area. There are also a couple of bathroom locations on the course.
SHIRTS & AWARDS
SHIRTS
Half Marathon finishers receive a technical fabric t-shirt (unless they request cotton).

All shirts are gender-specific and come in sizes ranging from youth small to men's 4XL.
Note about shirts: We will have many extra shirts, but because we order them in advance, you must be registered by 11/5 to be 100% guaranteed your requested shirt size.
