The course runs around local lakes and gardens, is flat, and includes both pavement and packed dirt. Races are chip timed. The event is held rain or shine.
There are two event options:
- 5k Turkey Trot around the lakes and gardens

Packet pickup and shirt distribution are available on multiple days during race week at local pickup locations, including Sports Basement San Ramon and Fieldwork Brewing, with additional pickup offered on race morning. Parking is available at Bishop Ranch City Center, 6000 Bollinger Canyon Road.
Finishers receive a wood cut medal made from recycled wood and a long sleeve Bishop Ranch Turkey Trot shirt as part of registration; shirts are not included for athletes under five but can be purchased separately.
